Student Ambassador Program - Bishop's University

Hey Bishop’s!

The student ambassador team is growing and we are looking for the best and brightest Bishop’s students to join us in sharing our purple pride during the 2023-2024 school year. We know how amazing Bishop’s is, but we need YOU to help us get the word out. We want enthusiastic, hardworking, reliable people who are passionate about our university!

Being a Student Ambassador

Student Ambassadors have one of the most important jobs on campus: recruiting new Gaiters! It’s not just about showing off our amazing facilities and beautiful buildings, you will also be helping prospective students find the right fit for their higher education. Because of this, you will have to be in the know and be excited about what’s going on around campus. At Bishop’s, we are proud that our students are so well rounded and we want you to educate visiting students on how your experience at a liberal arts institution has helped you develop as a student leader. This year we will be hiring for two separate positions, Student Ambassador – Tour Guide & Student Ambassador – Social Media Ambassador.

Responsibilities – Tour Guide

In addition to tours (both virtual and in-person), our ambassadors are key players in the recruitment office. You will be the face of Bishop’s University at our Open Houses and at outreach events such as school fairs and newly admitted student receptions. We will rely on you to chat with prospective students online and help provide content for blogs/vlogs about various topics to share with prospective students. We will also need your help around the office to make sure that our recruitment initiatives run smoothly.

Responsibilities – Social Media Ambassador

In addition to tours (both virtual and in-person), our social media ambassadors are key players in the recruitment office. You will be the face of Bishop’s University at our Open Houses and at outreach events such as school fairs and newly admitted student receptions. You will also be working closely with our Digital Communications Officer to help create content for our outreach efforts to prospective students. We will rely on you to be well versed in video editing, and the usage of different social media platforms (primarily TikTok) to offer new and innovative ideas for social media campaigns.
