They assist with planning and implementing Transfer Connection meetup events, plan Transfer Welcome Week events, present on the Transfer Connection program and events, table at various campus-wide resource fairs and Red Raider Orientation, offer support and answer questions via phone and email, and work as a Mentor Tech Peer Mentor to provide growth opportunities to transfer students throughout the academic year.

What if I want to work as a Transfer Ambassador for the summer?

We prefer Transfer Ambassadors that can work summer hours! During the summer, Transfer Ambassadors will give presentations and table at orientation sessions, offer summer peer mentorship, and contact incoming transfer students by phone and email.

Who else would I work with as a part of the Transfer Ambassador team?

As a Transfer Ambassador, you also work in multiple areas. First, you will be a part of Mentor Tech as a Peer Mentor. Mentor Tech provides opportunities for students to receive one-on-one mentorship and growth opportunities from faculty, staff, alumni, and peers. In this role, Transfer Ambassadors are matched with a student to provide personalized mentorship.

Additionally, Transfer Ambassadors will be called upon to serve the many areas of Student Development & Engagement (SD&E), which provides many different student services. As a part of this team, Transfer Ambassadors are often be asked to serve several areas of students and programs on campus such as First Gen Programs, College Readiness, University Coaching & Student Achievement, Student Engagement, Parent and Family Relations, and Retention Management & Innovation.
