Become a Student Ambassador
Why Join?
Student Ambassadors are at the forefront of the visitor experience at Drexel and serve the entire Drexel community as brand ambassadors by representing the University in various ways. Unlike leading a student organization, this is a selective paid campus position, and in order to ensure that the program maintains its high standard of service — students interested in joining the program are asked to complete and submit the Student Ambassador Application. Selected applicants will be invited to an interview. If offered a Student Ambassador position, students will need to successfully complete the necessary program training and background check process to become paid student employees. Being a Student Ambassador is a big responsibility, and that's why the process includes professional staff support, shadowing Lead Ambassadors, and taking advantage of professional development and training that will equip you to represent the University at events, on social media, and more.
Student Ambassadors play an important role in defining the Drexel experience for others, but there are also individual personal and professional benefits to joining the program.
