St John's Ambassadors

About the program

The St. John’s College Ambassador Program is a volunteer leadership opportunity for current student members to serve as the face of the College. Ambassadors play a key role in promoting student life, events, and engagement within the broader SJC community including alumni, faculty, and prospective students. Originally launched as part of the College’s recruitment strategy, the program aims to strengthen community connections, encourage student involvement, and support efforts to welcome new day students and residents into St. John’s College.

Eligibility requirements

  • Ability to share your college knowledge and experiences
  • Willingness to learn more about college activities, events, and programs to share with community
  • Have a passion to share St John’s College experience

Activities of ambassadors

  • Represent the college at major events, including alumni reunions, Jumpstart, Matriculation, Convocation and Orientation
  • Support recruitment activities, such as open houses, helping inform prospective students about the College experience
  • Engage with the college community through public speaking, social media content creation and our newly introduced "SJC Munch and Meet"

Why should you join?

Starting Fall 2025, we're introducing a new points system! As an ambassador, you'll earn points for each activitiy you'll participate in.
