Become a Program Ambassador!

A Program Ambassador (PA) is a student who, after completing their semester at the Italy Center, promotes the program at their home institution and/or on social media. 
Beyond skills development, the Program Ambassador Initiative will also allow students to become more closely involved with their academic community, add a meaningful experience to their CVs, and share the joy of study abroad with their peers!

Responsibilities

  • Organize a minimum of three promotional activities in the span of a semester, such as presenting at Italy-related events and courses, attending a campus study abroad fair, collaborating with the study abroad office, or creating posts and flyers.

  • Fill out a form describing each promotional activity upon completion.

  • Respond to inquiries from prospective Italy Center students in a timely manner to support their application.

 

Each PA will have a bio on this page, along with their contact information. Interested students from all over the country will be able to reach out to our PAs to ask questions about their experience. 

Time Commitment and Prize

Program Ambassadors commit to a minimum of one semester of service.

 

Although this is an unpaid volunteer position, the PA in a given academic year who recruits the most students will receive a $200 gift certificate. PAs are also welcome to ask the Italy Center to be one of their professional references.
