The Office of Undergraduate Research is seeking students engaged in undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity to serve as ambassadors. Ambassadors will be responsible for representing MU and the Office of Undergraduate Research at various functions and events on and off campus. Students will NOT be asked to miss class to participate in events.
On a rolling basis, ambassadors will be selected based upon their application and an interview (in-person or Zoom). In addition to enthusiasm and strong communication skills, we are looking for a diversity of majors, including the fine and performing arts, humanities, and social sciences.
Students from ALL MAJORS are encouraged to apply!
Responsibilities:
- Present workshops and presentations throughout the year to Freshman Interest Groups, classes, and student organizations
- Help at Fall and Spring Research Days, Summer Forum, and the Visual Art & Design Showcase events
- Engage incoming students during events at Welcome Week
- Attending biweekly meetings during the Fall and Spring semesters
- Advise during Ambassador office hours
- Answer “Ask an Ambassador” questions via email throughout the year
Benefits:
- A great resume-building experience.
- Opportunity to interact with faculty and academic professionals.
- An opportunity for a great recommendation letter.
