People to People Student Ambassador Program

sale. I had a lot more fun with community service this year, and I feel that I helped more people, rather than just shelving books. I first did community service at Bookmark Pegasus. I was not invited as an ambassador, however, Mr. Crabtree invited me to help showcase the robotics lab. When people came in, I gave them a basic run-down of the robotics program, what we do, and answered any questions that people had. I occasionally showed them demos of the robots, but I mostly just talked. After a…

Forums, an outreach program that celebrates diversity, and Business-One UNSW, a student-run consulting and professional services group. Both these experiences allowed me to see how people with a diverse range of backgrounds and strengths came together to develop solutions ranging from activity plans for high-school students to developing a business case for a student-run architectural firm to win a social housing design contract. The common themes from these experiences…

It would be the greatest honor to be a TRIO SSS transfer mentor for Wenatchee Valley College students. I am interested in being a transfer mentor because as a first-generation college student I understand that being a first-generation student of color comes with barriers, but also gives me a unique and valuable perspective with which to bring to higher education. My parents only have an elementary education and have no understanding of the U.S educational system and as the middle child of five…

because of how well my day was spent there. Right as I walked in, there was student ambassadors welcoming me and I thought that was very polite. Continuing on in this visit, everyone got to be involved and there was an option for everyone. I like this college because of the way everything is held together. There are so many nice people there and it gives me everything I need to continue my education. There are a few people I know that go to Kirkwood so I know I can be comfortable going there. I…

year nursing and midwifery student. I am applying for the 3rd year nursing second semester 2016 exchange to Malmo University in Sweden. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to apply for this exchange and, in fact, this opportunity is one of the reasons I chose La Trobe University to undertake my degrees. I have a passion and curiosity in life for travel and I have chosen a career which would not only offer me the opportunity to study, research and help people with health care but also…

With a group of fellow student leaders, I traveled abroad to Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales to broaden my understanding of different cultures and traditions. In the span of a month, the countries’ cultures were exposed to me through lectures, a home stay in Ireland, dancing…

there is at least one party in my county and have watched students show up to sporting events drunk because they want to have fun. This high percentage of underage drinking greatly upsets me. Alcohol affects the health of people as well as their mental health, especially teenagers. It can cause brain damage and alcohol poisoning and can also lead to becoming addicted.…

period of time. The idea of having to meet so many new people made me want to throw up. However, from the second I met the first HOBY volunteer I knew everything was going to be okay. As if to spite my fears and initial bad attitude, HOBY was informative and entertaining. Everyone was kind and I felt safe and at home. Even though I could easily understand the apprehension a sophomore might feel while contemplating whether or not to apply to this program, I would strongly recommend that everyone…

Diversity is a complex term, but the simplest definition is differences amongst people. There are so many entities that fall under diversity, such as socioeconomic status, culture, language, age, etc. The main two types of diversity that I am going to discuss are linguistic and cultural diversity. These types of diversity are the focal diversities in an ESL classroom. In order to fully understand cultural and linguistic diversity, and how to approach the subjects of diversity, it is important to…
