Student Ambassador Information
The Student Ambassadors are a microcosm of the student population who are passionate about giving prospective
students and their guests the best possible experience during their visit to Eastern Florida State College.
Ambassadors
are current students who display leadership potential and desire to promote Eastern Florida State College.
In doing
so, they support the efforts of the Admissions office in attracting, recruiting, and enrolling a talented and diverse group
of future first year and transfer students. As student leaders, the Ambassadors provide campus visitors a broad view of
the Eastern Florida State experience by welcoming them to the college, speaking on student panels, leading campus
tours, and running campus events. The Ambassadors assist these future students in discerning how Eastern Florida
could be a place where they will have a thriving, fulfilling collegiate career. A Student Ambassador represents Eastern
Florida out of a love for his or her school.
Ambassadors come from various backgrounds and have different interests, opinions, and experiences that represent the
EFSC student body. Ambassadors hold a highly-sought position of leadership and public exposure on campus and, as a
member of this program, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of EFSC, personal and professional
development, opportunities to meet other students, and to experience a blend of business, fun, and priceless learning
opportunities. It is our desire that this program be a symbiotic relationship between you and EFSC.

Ambassadors must have a willingness to grow and develop as student leaders. This includes accepting
constructive criticism and feedback.
Ambassadors must have the willingness to further develop listening and interpersonal skills.
Ambassadors must be responsive to email or voicemail communication within an established time period.
Ambassadors must adhere to the policies and protocols outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
