Semester at Sea Global Ambassador Program
Did you love your experience with Semester at Sea? Do you want to help spread the word about our program to more students on your campus? Become a Global Ambassador with SAS!
Global Ambassadors are outstanding and articulate SAS student alumni who are currently enrolled as undergraduates and possess a strong desire to spread the mission, vision, and value of Semester at Sea on their college or university campus. Through innovation and creativity, each ambassador keeps their story of SAS alive and invites others to embark on their own voyage of discovery with SAS. A Global Ambassador is an active voluntary member of the SAS alumni community.
There are three ways you can be involved with the SAS Global Ambassador program:
Engagement Global Ambassador
Share your experience and answer questions from prospective voyagers.
Outreach Global Ambassador
Contribute to our social media presence by engaging with Semester at Sea posts and sharing with your network about your voyage experience.
Connection Global Ambassador
Be the face of Semester at Sea by holding on-campus or virtual events independently or with your Regional Director. Represent the program and share your experiences with prospective students.
