CFANS Student Ambassadors

Who are the ambassadors and what do they do?

The CFANS Ambassadors are undergraduate students in our college who are passionate about CFANS and seek to share their experiences with others. These students are energetic, dedicated, and knowledgeable about CFANS and the University.

Ambassadors work closely with the CFANS Admissions team and are involved with recruitment, retention, diversity, advancement, and alumni activities. Activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Campus tours for prospective students and families
  • Prospective student outreach and support
  • Student panel participation
  • CFANS community engagement at various special events
  • Community outreach throughout the Twin Cities

What are the benefits of being a CFANS Ambassador?

Centered on having fun and building relationships with other CFANS students, being an ambassador means you'll have a positive impact on prospective students, alumni, and donors. You'll develop leadership skills and public speaking skills, and gain valuable experience for your resume. In addition to supporting recruitment efforts you will also receive leadership training and continue your professional development.  Ambassadors also have the opportunity to earn financial compensation based on their level of involvement. You'll also expand your network within CFANS, the University, and Minnesota communities.

What is the time commitment?

Your involvement is an annual commitment that takes place during fall and spring semesters. There will be an opportunity for renewal in the group each year. The time commitment varies, but is on average five to ten hours per month. Mandatory meetings are held twice each month during the academic year.
