Become a UW Engineering Ambassador - Deadline March 1st!

Hello EE Students:
 
The College of Engineering is starting a new student program called
Engineering Ambassadors. The UW Engineering Ambassadors are student
representatives of UW's College of Engineering. Ambassadors seek to
connect with students in grades K-12, prospective students and their
families, alumni, industry partners, and the community. We hope to
inspire others, particularly those from underrepresented, under-served
or low income communities, to see the amazing opportunities in the
field of engineering and UW's College of Engineering just as we do.
 
Our primary goal is to connect a diverse set of people with UW's
College of Engineering. You'll be able to find the Engineering
Ambassadors giving presentations and tours on campus to prospective
students and families, or in middle and high schools educating
students on the importance of engineering to the health, happiness,
and safety of our world.

What is an Engineering Ambassador?
An enthusiastic freshman, sophomore or junior engineering student who is
passionate about engineering and spreading the word about it at UW!

Qualities of an Engineering Ambassador
- High level of personal and professional character
- Exceptional communication skills and leadership ability
- Enthusiasm toward the field of engineering, the College, and the University of Washington
- Reliable and willing to commit some of their time each quarter to be
part of an awesome team that serves the outreach goals of the College
of Engineering

What will an Engineering Ambassador do?
Give campus tours to or meet with prospective students, meet with
industry representatives, and most importantly, participate in
outreach events at K-12 schools in the state of Washington.
