Information Science Ambassador program

The Student Ambassador Program serves to provide students with the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills as well as engage, excite, and attract prospective and incoming students. Student Ambassadors will be able to share their experiences in the InfoSci Program at Shady Grove with students, their families, and their community members, while also upholding and practicing the iSchools core values.

The goal of The Student Ambassador Program is for current students to represent the program to both prospective and incoming students by providing a student’s perspective on relevant experiences within the program and the Information Science field as a whole. As such, Student Ambassadors will be expected to perform the following tasks:

  • Assist with event planning and organization
  • Responding to general student inquiries via email
  • Attend Information Sessions at Montgomery College campuses
  • Attend on-campus recruiting events and open houses
  • Attend all InfoSci workshops and events
  • Assist with managing program social media (Facebook & Instagram) by sharing stories, photos, and events
  • Assist with the creation of the InfoSci @ USG newsletter
  • Assist with creation of event flyers
