NAU Honors Ambassadors
Purpose
Group of highly-trained Honors students whose purpose it is to represent NAU
and the Honors Program at NAU recruitment events, to act as a personal
contact and a general resource for prospective and current Honors Students and
their families.
Structure
Current NAU Honors students are trained to serve as resources for NAU in
general, but more importantly for the Honors Program. They may attend
college fairs as well as individual high school junior or senior honors functions.
They will also communicate with accepted students, sending personal letters of
congratulations and extending an offer of assistance. They may also attend
NAU functions for prospective students, such as on campus visits and high
school junior events. Ambassadors will also leave a copy of their schedules with
the Ambassador Coordinator at the Honors Office so that individual students
who drop by could meet up with, and perhaps attend a class with, a student
representative. Ambassadors will also be asked to correspond with potential and
accepted honors students through email, phone and mailings.
Ambassadors will be selected based on application and interview.
Considerations will be made based upon availability, field of study, and
ability to work well with students as a representative of Honors.
Payment
We anticipate paying Ambassadors a stipend payable at the end of the semester
provided the students have completed all requirements.
Requirements
Ambassadors will attend MANDATORY monthly meetings, approximately two
hours in length. Ambassadors must be in good standing in the Honors
Program. Ambassadors must also participate in ten activities each semester,
which include, but are not limited to, the following:
Open Houses

Daily Campus Visits for Honors students
High School College Fairs
Flinn Overnight Visit Activities
