Student Ambassadors
About
College of Nursing Student Ambassadors are a select group of nursing students dedicated to enhancing the image of professional nursing in Kentucky. Ambassadors promote the College by assisting in information sessions, providing tours and giving an idea of “what it’s really like” to be a UK College of Nursing student. Ambassadors assist in UK recruiting events such as Preview Nights, Open Houses and other events for the College. On average, Ambassadors participate in 1-2 events per month during the academic year.
Students are qualified to be ambassadors if they:
- Have been admitted to the professional nursing program
- Are a second-semester sophomore or first- or second-semester junior (pre-nursing majors and first-semester sophomore students are not eligible)
- Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.25.
Once the application has been released, qualified students must:
- Complete a College of Nursing Student Ambassador Program application (through Qualtrics).
- Request one faculty recommendation from the Nursing faculty member of your choice.
Eligible applicants will participate in an interview with one of the Acting Directors of the Traditional Track in the Undergraduate Program. . If chosen as an Ambassador must commit to at least one year of service. Students agree to keep the College’s Office of Student Services apprised of their availability for events. Questions, please contact Stephanie Konkel and/or Shaun Ketterman by email.
