Be a resource for current students and alumni seeking career-related advice. NYUAD alumni have rich and diverse experiences in their professional journeys that we would like to share with the community. Ideal ambassadors are working in fields commonly pursued by graduates including education, social impact, consulting, technology, finance, engineering, or the arts, or have attended a graduate degree program. The annual expected time commitment is 3-10 hours, depending on need. Ambassadors will:
- Be a resource with whom CDC Advisors can connect students and alumni with similar career interests. While students remain curious year-round, ambassadors can expect peak student inquiries in the beginnings of semesters and during internship recruitment season.
- Develop and write one blog post (300-500 words) sharing a career-related tip or insight, such as how they were accepted into their graduate program, how to network at a conference, tips for transitioning to full-time employment, or how their senior spring break trip shaped their career. Blog development guidance/template will be provided. These insights would be shared for current and future students to better conceptualize possibilities and pathways.
- (Optional) Host or feature in a CDC panel or Livestream. As the student body grows, the CDC seeks to provide more opportunities for student to student and student to alumni learning. Topics and angles are flexible, depending on trends you observe and student interest. Previous topics have included how to market your liberal arts degree, breaking into investment banking, and the realities of working in international organizations.
