Fulbright College Launches DEI Student Ambassador Program, Applications Due by Oct. 10
The Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is launching its new ARSC DEI Student Ambassador Program.
A group of 19 diverse and conscientious students, representing their department or school within the college, will be selected to help increase inclusivity and cultivate a greater sense of belonging throughout our college and campus community.
One ARSC DEI Student Ambassador per department/school will be chosen to contribute one to two hours weekly. A few benefits of participating include being awarded an ARSC DEI Student Ambassador Certificate of Achievement, receiving a graduation stole and developing a skill set that can be used in any career and in life in general.
Applicants interested in becoming ARSC DEI Student Ambassadors should be undergraduate Fulbright College students who:
- Are committed to learning more about DEI and cultural competence.
- Are eager to increase their knowledge and cultural awareness.
- Are ready to hone their communication and event-planning skills.
- Care.
Applications for the fall-spring 2021-22 academic year are due by 10 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 10.
