Dear Prospective Skylander Student Ambassador,
Thank you for your interest in Sussex County Community College's Student Ambassador Program
for the Spring 2021 semester. While this is a very competitive application process; the friends, memories,
and leadership skills you will gain make this process well worth it! Campus Life and SCCC thank you in
advance for your commitment.
As much as Campus Life would LOVE to have you all serve as a Skylander Student Ambassador,
the program is limited in the number of students we are able to select, and thus the selection process is
quite rigorous. Skylander Student Ambassadors are called on to assist with various activities, recruitment
and public relations events, and by giving campus tours to prospective students and their families.
Skylander Student Ambassadors have the opportunity to work with Staff and Faculty in all departments
throughout the college, and gain valuable skills along the way.
In addition to assisting as an SCCC representative in the community, you will also have the
opportunity to spend the semester working with Campus Life and the Student Government Association
in planning and executing campus events and activities. Highlights for the Spring 2021 semester include
the Welcome Back Week, Screen on the Green, & Graduation 2021!
If you are selected to serve as a Skylander Student Ambassador, you will gain valuable leadership
skills that will serve you once you graduate from SCCC and either transfer to a four-year school or enter
the workforce. Campus Life has high expectations for Skylander Student Ambassadors and that means
whether you're running the popcorn machine at an Open Mic or presenting to our Board of Trustees, we
expect you to conduct yourself professionally, while still having a great time. We do expect you to have
stellar time management skills (but we understand that this is a learned skill and are willing to help you
develop yours); the ability to speak confidently in front of a group (but we fully appreciate that this is also
a learned skill and will provide ample opportunity to practice); and a willingness to put yourself out there
as a top student leader.
Being a SCCC Skylander Student Ambassador is a job, just like any other job, but it’s also FUN!
Ambassadors are required to work a minimum of 4 or 5 hours per week throughout the semester,
completing a minimum of 40, 60, or 80 hours by the end of the Spring 2021 semester. As you are
considering becoming an Ambassador, think about your schedule and other obligations and take the time
to consider which option works best for you. Each Ambassador will receive a work grant to be applied
