Generally, the ambassador organizes one annual planning meeting where
various volunteers in the area help plan about four annual CC alumni events.
The events usually focus on sports, family, cultural, arts, faculty visits
or the standard happy hour for young alumni. Our annual national events
include the Hockey Telecast and CC Cares, our national community service
day.
You may respond: "I don't know how to plan an event." Don't
worry, it's our job to help you understand the process and experience
success.
Check out our Ambassador's
Toolbox for information on planning meetings and events.
One small perk is that the College will pay for you to attend the annual
Alumni Leadership Forum where you'll receive extensive training and connect
with events leaders nationwide.
Consider the job a promotion - from CC alumnus/alumna to CC Ambassador!
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Courtney
Arnstein , Alumni Program Officer for Regional Networks at 800-852-6519.
