Student Ambassador Program

2019

The Student Ambassador Program is a key initiative of the University, which enriches the student experience and grooms our students for their future careers. Interacting with various guests, this program gives students the opportunity to share their passion for Bond, and enhance their public speaking skills.

Vice Chancellor’s Message

BECOME A STUDENT AMBASSADORBond’s Student Ambassador Program is the perfect opportunity for current students to join a large community of active volunteers who are rewarded for their contribution to the University.

Student Ambassadors have the chance to participate in a range of exciting activities to earn points for various awards, meet current and future Bondies, network with prospective employers and gain valuable mentoring and leadership experience.

If you want to share your love of Bond with the wider community, while maximising your own university experience and broadening your skills, then we encourage you to get involved as a Student Ambassador.

ACTIVITIESStudent Ambassadors receive a regular e-newsletter with upcoming opportunities to volunteer. You will need to respond to the email to confirm the activities you can assist with. Activities are allocated to ambassadors on a first-to-respond basis.

Campus tour guests will often ask to take a tour of Bond University with a Student Ambassador from a particular region, or who is studying a specific program. The Program Coordinator may contact you directly if you match the tour request.

Ambassador activities may include:• Campus tours• Mentoring programs• Event support, at events such as: > Bond with Bond networking functions > High school experience events such as Headstart Day > International conferences > Orientation Week > Open Day > Scholarship award ceremonies > School visits and presentations > Tertiary expos > VIP campus tours

AWARDSEvery semester Bond hosts a Student Ambassador Awards Evening to recognise and reward the achievements of our ambassadors. Awards are presented to ambassadors who have accumulated enough points during the past semester to reach the next tier in the program.

An Ambassador of the Month award is also presented to one ambassador who has made an outstanding contribution to the program during the past month.

EXPECTATIONSIn your capacity as a Student Ambassador, you play a valuable role in representing Bond to the wider community, and so we ask that you always present yourself professionally in both conduct and appearance. All ambassadors are supplied with a complimentary polo shirt to be worn when conducting ambassador tasks and this can be collected during office hours from the Bond University Marketing Office.
