We were so excited to kick off the Honors Ambassadors program in February 2020, only to have our new initiative dramatically altered the following month. Still, this group of Honors enthusiasts stepped up to the plate! They agreed to connect 1:1 with prospective students, represented JMU and Honors in Virtual CHOICES, and then continued to sing the praises of Honors during the summer months with Virtual Springboard sessions. I admire our amazing Ambassadors, and I'm stoked to be able to once again open up recruitment so that YOU can join this esteemed group of super volunteers!
We want the Honors Ambassadors cohort to be made of up diverse students whose backgrounds and majors speak to the wide array of prospective students interested in JMU. We specifically hope that BIPOC, first generation, and LGBTQIA+ students will want to join our Ambassador community. We enthusiastically encourage students with Spanish language speaking ability to apply. Our goal with Fall recruitment is to add enthusiastic Honors spokespeople to make our cadre of Ambassadors more representative of campus as a whole. We will be adding approximately 10 new Ambassadors to our group, and we are particularly looking for folx with majors in the College of Education and the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Regardless of major, students from states other than Virginia are also encouraged to apply. Recruitment opens on August 31, and applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 9. Interviews will be held the week of September 14, with new Ambassadors notified on September 18. If you apply and are not selected this fall, please don't despair! It will be a competitive process with only a few slots awarded. We will hold another recruitment in January, however, with 20+ slots available at that time. In order to apply, CLICK HERE. Questions? I'm always here to provide answers!
