Recruiting OUR Ambassadors

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) is now accepting applications for its 2019 Ambassador program. Serving as an ambassador can help you build leadership skills and your resume, as you provide crucial service to the OUR. OUR ambassadors are the "face" of the office, disseminating information about undergraduate research and facilitating key services offered by the office. You will get a unique networking experience, interacting with faculty, administrators, and prospective research students.

Ideal candidates will have had undergraduate research experience in any discipline and must be reliable, organized, personable, respectful, and exhibit excellent communication skills. Anticipated time commitment is 2-5 hours per week. This is a voluntary program; there is no financial compensation. Only students continuing in Fall 2019 are eligible to apply to the Ambassador program at this time. The regular Ambassador recruitment period will be in late Spring, for the 2019-20 academic year.

If you’re interested in applying to start in the Spring 2019 semester, please complete the online application form by November 30 at noon.
