BestSemester Alumni Ambassador Program

WHO ARE ALUMNI AMBASSADORS? Alumni Ambassadors are program alumni selected to represent BestSemester on their home campus.To be eligible, you must have completed at least one semester/summer term on a BestSemester program and be returning to your college/university campus for at least one more semester.  We are looking for alumni who truly had a great experience and can't wait to share their excitement with their peers! Here's what some of our recent ambassadors have to say... "My best semester experience not only allowed me to travel to a country I only dreamed of going to but it allowed me to learn about a new culture. In addition, it stretched me and helped me really learn about issues in this world and made me think." Sophia Shafer, ASC Spring 2012 Alumni Ambassador, John Brown University "BestSemester gives college students the real world experience they can't wait until graduation to get. That's what it did for me so they are easy programs to support by becoming an alumni ambassador." Jenny Miner, WJC Spring 2011 Former Alumni Ambassador, California Baptist University "I enjoyed my experience so much, while also grasping how much it changed my outlook and perspective that I would want to give everyone of my college that opportunity." Connor Dealy, SSO Spring 2012 Alumni Ambassador, Palm Beach Atlantic University "BestSemester was one of the most formative experiences of my time in college. Now, a year removed, and through participating in the Alumni Ambassador Program, I'm finding a unique place to unpack many significant lessons and experiences and connect with others about my beautiful four and half months in Uganda through the Uganda Studies Program." Marybeth Conlon, USP Spring 2011 Former Alumni Ambassador, Gordon College
