What is a TCVPA Student Ambassador?

TCVPA Ambassador Expectations

The J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts (TCVPA) Ambassador Programs is a select group of student volunteers. The goal of the Ambassadors Program is to provide information about the College, individual schools and programs to prospective students, parents, alumni, donors, and others. Ambassadors attend recruiting events such as the Texas Tech Preview Day, Saturday Visit Days, and other information sessions as needed on behalf of the College. This can include both on-campus and virtual events. 

An Ambassador is expected to be:

• Respectful of prospective students, parents, alumni, and peers
• Professional in manner and appearance
• Positive in they/their attitude
• Willing to discuss changes to the Ambassador Program with his/her supervisor or Associate Undergraduate Dean that they/their feels could help the Ambassador Program and the arts community as a whole
• On-time to events

Ambassadors are required to:

• Meet 24 points per year (12 per semester)
  • Can potentially make up points missed from one semester in another at supervisor's discretion (for example: 8 points in fall, 16 in spring)
  • Points may also be met with work in summer, per supervisor's discretion (for example: 10 points in fall, 10 points spring, 4 points summer)
  • All points for a year must be completed during the same academic year (e.g., Fall 2019 – Summer 2020)
• Maintain academic AND non-academic good standing with Texas Tech University
• Attend events as scheduled or find another ambassador to cover with enough time prior to event
• Keep in contact with supervisor each semester via meeting, email, zoom meeting, in-person meeting (must be scheduled at least 2 days out so that proper social distancing protocols can be met)
• Attend events that have been deemed required by supervisor
