Congratulations for being selected as a member
of the ISEP Ambassador team!
We are so pleased that
you have decided to continue in your international experience by serving
as an ISEP Ambassador. Volunteering in itself is a noble activity,
and we appreciate the time and contributions you will make over the
course of this year.
As you know from the time you spent at your host university, studying abroad is the experience of a lifetime, and often a life-changing one. You not only learned about another country, and possibly another language, but I’m sure you learned a great deal about yourself. Most students come back with more self-confidence, independence, and tolerance and understanding of cultural differences. We hope you can reflect on what you learned abroad and find ways to share this experience with other students. Your efforts will encourage them to consider studying abroad, or at least help them think more internationally.
The ISEP Ambassador program will not only allow you to interact with fellow students from your home country, but also continue an international exchange of ideas through the incoming ISEP students. The ISEP network has over 275 universities in 40 countries, so students from any of these locations will be arriving at your campus very soon.
Serving as an ISEP Ambassador will also provide a valuable volunteer experience to list on your résumé. You will develop presentation and communication skills, organizational and project management abilities, and possibly office work experience if helping your Coordinator in the international or study abroad office.
To get started, you should meet with your local ISEP Coordinator and discuss activities in which to participate. Also, find out when the Study Abroad Fair or recruiting meetings are occurring on your campus. For US universities, these often happen in September, so you should get in contact right away. Please see the Requirements and Activities (left) for types of projects.
The guides and tools on the left menu will provide information for the different activities. If you have other ideas, questions, or need additional resources, please contact me or your ISEP Coordinator.
Thank you for contributing to ISEP and the internationalization of
your campus. And again, welcome to the team!
Best regards,
