Science Ambassador Program

The Experiential Learning Team goals are to support student professional development by engaging as part of a Science student advisory committee executive team, supporting the Science Internship Program’s workshops and sessions, and conducting program evaluations, including focus groups, surveys, and program reports. This team will collaborate with units across campus to advance the strategic mission and goals of the Faculty of Science by supporting student consultations and institutional events such as UCalgary Open House and You at UCalgary. Experiential Learning Ambassadors will be regularly consulted on various faculty priorities and initiatives to provide student feedback and perspective.

The Community Engagement Team specialize in student life, wellbeing, and building an inclusive, welcoming Science community of peers. They host events for undergraduate students to connect with their peers and support the Science Mentorship Program by offering events and activities to facilitate student connection opportunities. They promote self-care and resilience, and help their peers develop communication and collaboration skills. Projects include seasonal social events and targeted student engagement activities (ex. social media events, ad-hoc Science student engagement through drop-in activities). 

The Communications Ambassador Team amplifies and promotes the various activities, events, and opportunities identified and developed by the other Ambassador teams and the Faculty of Science. Their work spans the different portfolios of the Science Ambassadors and aims to create impactful, inspiring communications and creative content. This will include social media (Instagram), video and photo content creation, graphic design, and strategic communications planning in alignment with University of Calgary communications standards.
