WORK STUDY ELIGIBLE

student to be a Student Ambassador. Student Ambassadors are students who represent LCC, and would like to share the positive experiences they've had, to help prospective, new and current students. Students who think beyond their own experience, and think about ways to support all students at LCC. An Ambassador supports our Outreach, onboarding and retention efforts. From participation in New Student Onboarding, to planning and hosting events on campus, Ambassadors will form intentional, positive relationships. These connections will continue to develop through retention phone calls, texting, email, and over Zoom. As a result, students will have a greater understanding of resources available to them and broader participation on campus, increasing student success and strengthening our campus community. With this team of dedicated students, LCC offers a higher quantity and quality of campus events and tours, while creating valuable, authentic connections with potential and current students. Student Ambassadors will take on a comprehensive set of responsibilities, including: building rapport with current and potential students, promoting and conducting campus tours, supporting potential students through the application and onboarding process, planning campus events, and connecting new and returning students to resources. Outreach Ambassadors are LCC students who represent the College's mission, vision, and values through their actions and activities pertaining to outreach and recruitment of prospective students. As an Outreach Ambassador, you'll take your enthusiasm for LCC to a variety of events (that might take place virtually!) including: information sessions with prospective students; college fairs; and a Summer Bridge Program aimed at keeping new students engaged with LCC from post-HS graduation, to their first day as an LCC student. As an Outreach Ambassador, you will be assigned a high school in the LCC Service Area - the goal being consistency with students considering LCC; allowing those prospective students to gain familiarity with their assigned ambassador; and look to their Outreach Ambassador as a role model or example of what student success at LCC can look like.
