Ambassadors will be responsible for processing important documents handed in by students, manage the Global Experiences’ email account, and complete any other necessary tasks given to them by various members of the Global Experiences team.

Ambassadors will be given large projects to work on throughout the duration of the ambassadorship. These projects often involve researching topics, designing promotional materials, and student outreach. Projects range in topic and can involve stakeholders across campus.

Ambassadors will work directly with students to help them achieve their global experience goals by sharing personal experiences, explaining our different program options, aiding them throughout the application process, and advising prospective applicants through the application process.

Ambassadors will present to different Pitt Business classes and student organizations, represent the Global Experiences team at special events, and participate in other various networking events. At special events, ambassadors are required to contribute to Pitt Business social media. Ambassadors document the special event with photos, and post them to various social media accounts (including Facebook and Instagram), using “#PBToTheWorld” to tag each photo.

Ambassadors commit to working 10 hours per week at a rate of $12 per hour. This amounts to a compensation of $1,680 per semester.

Our ambassadors are given the rewarding opportunity of helping others to achieve meaningful, and perhaps life-changing, global experiences. We look for applicants who are passionate and excited about global experiences.
