College Counseling Ambassadors
Rowland Hall's College Counseling Ambassador Program gives juniors and seniors an opportunity to engage in a meaningful leadership position that jump-starts their engagement with the college process, hones their communication and organizational skills, and provides opportunities to develop relationships with their college counselors, admission representatives, and peers.
Ambassador responsibilities include:
- Serving as representatives of Rowland Hall to visiting college admission representatives
- Moderating virtual college visits for admission representatives and peers
- Conducting primary-source research on colleges and universities with representatives visiting Rowland Hall
Students selected to serve for a second year as lead ambassadors are responsible for both training new ambassadors and coordinating the logistics for representative visits. Lead ambassadors also contribute to the visual representation and communication pieces of the process, which include contacting other ambassadors, college representatives, and fellow seniors.
