ACPA Ambassadors - Opportunity for your graduate students!



I wanted to take a moment today to let you know about an exciting opportunity for graduate students at your institution, the ACPA Ambassadors program. Applications are currently open for the 2013-2014 year and we are hoping to garner a large involvement across the country.
What is an ACPA Ambassador?
Ambassadors are Graduate Students and New Professionals working on campuses across the country to create networking opportunities and expand the knowledge of ACPA. They are the lifeline connecting their institution to ACPA and other institutions across the country.  Ambassadors utilize social media such as Facebook and Twitter to get the word out about opportunities within ACPA as well as create connections with people across the country. Ambassadors build and maintain a community within ACPA that focuses on innovative ideas and knowledge sharing.
In addition to all that, Ambassadors have many opportunities to get connected with other committees and commissions, contribute to ACPA publications, maintain a presence within the Standing Committee for Graduate Students and New Professionals, and host networking events in their regions.
We are looking for individuals who want to gain involvement in the higher education field and get their feet wet with ACPA.  Those interested can find the application at http://tinyurl.com/acpaambassadorapp or on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/AmbassadorsACPA.
Please consider sending this information to your Graduate Students and New Professionals and encourage them to apply!
Thank You,
Jeremy Harmon
