Become an Admissions Alumni Ambassador
Our alumni are the best representatives of Heinz College’s impact and possibilities. Your enthusiasm in sharing your knowledge and experience with potential students plays an important part in the continued success of our programs and in Heinz College’s standing among the world’s premier higher-education institutions.
We offer an opportunity for prospective students to connect with knowledgeable and enthusiastic alumni, adding a transparent and authentic lens into Heinz for prospective students to consider.
As an admissions ambassador, you can share your Heinz College experience with our prospective students on the phone, via email or in person. As our applicant pool grows each year, not only does this effort provide an avenue for our alumni to give back, it also extends Heinz College’s reach and increases the quality of our recruitment initiatives.
How Can I Help?
There are three different tiers of ambassadorship (responsibilities for each are described in more detail below).
- Full ambassador
- Virtual ambassador
- Digital volunteer
Serving as an ambassador is a one-year commitment. You'll have the flexibility to help as much or as little as your schedule allows, with as many or as few of the activities below in which you would like to participate:
As a full alumni ambassador, you can:
- Attend a graduate school fair with a Heinz Admissions Representative.
- Adopt a school: visit career counselors and/or faculty members at your alma mater or at colleges and universities near you.
- Organize a Heinz College event in your city.
As a virtual alumni ambassador, you can:
- Contact prospective students by phone or by email to tell them about Heinz College.
- Participate in a web-based information session (webinar) for prospective students.
If you're interested in supporting our recruitment efforts, the Heinz College admissions team will provide you with resources to help you answer prospective students’ questions, as well as templates to share important Heinz information, updates and deadlines via social media.
No matter how you choose to be involved, your contribution greatly influences our effort to bring in new, talented students!
