Do you have free time during winter break AND love CMNS @UMD?
Request an application to be a CMNS Recruitment Ambassador for fall 2025 by e-mailing Eden Hurley at egarosi@umd.edu.
CMNS Recruitment Ambassadors help prospective freshmen and transfers of all CMNS majors learn why UMD is a great place to study science. Ambassadors assist with student panels and CMNS information tables at admissions open houses, meet individually/in small groups with prospective students, sit on virtual Zoom panels, represent CMNS and their peers, and provide feedback about the mindset of the students with whom they interact. Typical time commitment for this volunteer position is one hour a week, though some weeks will not have any events. The best ambassadors can easily express what they love about UMD, regardless of whether it was their original first choice college when they applied for admission. You will never be asked to “sell” UMD – you simply talk about your experiences and answer questions to help students make the best decision for them. Ambassadors make connections with faculty and staff in CMNS and gain valuable leadership and public speaking skills.
Applicants must have a 3.0 or higher cumulative college GPA. The final application deadline is Tuesday, January 28, 2025, but those who apply in full by January 23rd will have priority for interview slots.
