Student Ambassador Program

Help Promote MIT as an Ambassador

Learn about student ambassadorsStudent Ambassadors and Alumni Association Staff, Fall 2011.

Student Ambassadors are a small group of student volunteers dedicated to the positive promotion of MIT. They are visible at many campus events and serve as liaisons between current MIT students and two other important groups: alumni and prospective students. Both groups are very interested in hearing student perspectives on life at MIT. Typical roles include mingling, hosting a table of MIT guests, providing tours, and speaking about the MIT student experience or student research.

The Student Ambassadors, an ASA-recognized group sponsored by the MIT Alumni Association, have the opportunity to interact with campus VIPs and alumni who may become valuable career contacts. Ambassadors also have the chance to develop and receive training in communication, public relations, and interpersonal skills.

Apply to join Student Ambassadors

The Association searches for responsible, enthusiastic students who enjoy meeting new people. Ambassadors should be able to start conversations easily, handle several tasks at once, work under pressure, and function as good citizens of the MIT community.

We are recruiting new Student Ambassadors to start in the Spring term, 2012. The application deadline is January 28, at 12:00 pm, noon. If invited, group interviews will be held February 7 or 8 between 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
