The Kansas State University Staley School of Leadership is seeking students for the next group of Staley School Ambassadors. Applications are due by Monday, Nov. 11.
Student ambassadors are passionate about the Staley School, and help with recruitment through each of their own peer groups, professional organizations, and networks. They are champions for leadership development, often working with campus and community partners to facilitate leadership workshops. (Check out this recounting of a leadership workshop the Ambassadors hosted for Manhattan’s JAG-K!)
Personal and professional skills development is a priority for Staley School Ambassadors, with committees bringing in guest speakers, workshops, and many applied learning opportunities at the School and University-wide.
The Staley School Ambassadors also develop valuable relationships with one another, helping them build a network of friendships across campus due to the interdisciplinary nature of leadership studies.
“Joining the Ambassadors, at any time during a student’s K-State experience, provides an anchor and a place to practice self-improvement,” said Kim Ralston, co-advisor of the Staley School Ambassadors.
“Students can find a wide variety of opportunities to grow and they also have a lot of fun and create lasting memories and friendships.”
Eligible undergraduate students must be enrolled in the leadership studies certificate/minor, the nonprofit leadership certificate or the global food systems leadership secondary major. A weekly meeting takes place 8-9 p.m. Monday, with exceptions for holidays or other University/academic events.
Applications are due by Monday, Nov. 11. Applicants will be required to attend an informational meet-and-greet meeting 8-9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18. More details are included in the application.
