Division of Student Affairs Is Looking for Social Media Ambassadors

The Division of Student Affairs is looking for students who are interested in becoming student Social Media Ambassadors.

Students should show an interest in posting content about their lives as a University of Arkansas student to their personal accounts and feel comfortable with the division reposting their content for a wider audience. Content pulled from Social Media Ambassadors will be given credit.

Students will be selected to be ambassadors for Twitter and Instagram. Students interested in the position can fill out the application online.

Additionally, Social Media Ambassadors can receive service hours for their time spent working with the division.

Allyson Braggs, social media graduate assistant for Student Affairs, manages the division's social presence and will work with the Social Media Ambassadors to use and repurpose their content.

"This school has such amazing diversity and such a rich culture," Braggs said. "I want to help show how the students love this campus. By using tweets, photos, and posts there are already making, this gives students an ownership of what is happening on their campus."

Instead of sending them on assignments, Braggs will retweet and repost content from the ambassador's personal accounts to show what students are involved in and care about on campus.

"This was an amazing initiative that was done before, and I want to bring it back," Braggs said. "The students and campus are constantly changing and I want to show that."

Follow Student Affairs on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for updates on the Social Media Ambassadors.
