This is not a paid position, but you will be “compensated” in the form of “exclusive” IGM swag, meals, special opportunities, a great resume builder, and the opportunity to influence the student experience in IGM. Students who are selected to serve as Ambassadors will be asked to sign an “agreement” and evaluated on an annual basis.

The IGM Ambassadors will be selected, trained, evaluated and supervised by the Assistant Director of Student Experience. You may be dismissed from your position at any time at the discretion of the Assistant Director and/or the Director of the School.
