Southwest Ambassadors serve as orientation guide leads, campus tour leaders, peer mentors, and community liaisons. Southwest Ambassadors will assist with in-person orientation sessions, high school tours, and other Southwest events.
If selected as an Ambassador, you must be available for high school campus tours and the New Student Orientation dates. This is mandatory. Exclusive campus tours may also be required. Selected students will be asked to come in for a meet-and-greet once applicants are selected and notified after the last day to apply. After Ambassadors are selected, they are required to participate in mandatory training. Please see the application for specific dates regarding training, tours, and New Student Orientation.
The Ambassador program is a great opportunity to build a network, get to know Southwest’s faculty, staff, and students, and serve your community. You will guide, direct, inform, and teach prospective students how to navigate student life. Prospective students gain invaluable insights from student ambassadors that help them understand what it means to be a successful college student.
Students selected as Southwest Ambassadors will receive a stipend of up to $400 (amount subject to change based on the number of tours and duties assigned).
