University of Georgia

Pre-Professional Student Ambassadors (PPSA) work directly with the Pre-Professional Advising Office (PPAO) to establish and build an inclusive community for pre-health and pre-law students at UGA. The role of a PPSA is to connect students to campus resources, professional development opportunities, and support / guidance. Additionally, they will promote the Pre-Professional Advising Office across campus and work with campus partners for collaboration and outreach.

Responsibilities

Ambassadors are selected to serve on one of two committees. The Orientation Committee is responsible for tabling at the summer orientation resource fairs. The Campus Engagement Committee is active during the fall and spring semesters and is responsible for collaborating with partners across campus to build networks and organize campus engagement activities. Orientation Committee members are invited to join the Campus Engagement Committee, if they wish. All committees will report directly to the Pre-Professional Advising Office.

Your two options:

  • As a PPSA Orientation Ambassador, you will commit to your fair share of staffing the PPAO table at the summer orientation resource fairs at the Tate Student Center. We anticipate your commitment to be 5-7 fairs for about two hours in the morning. You will sign up for fairs as your schedule permits.
  • As a PPSA Campus Engagement Ambassador, you will commit to a minimum of 25 hours fall semester and 25 hours spring semester participating in meetings and events sponsored by the PPSA or PPAO.
