Application for Student Ambassador Program
Submission Deadline: TBD
The ECA Student Ambassador Program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to attend and participate in the ECA convention without paying registration fees, and to experience an academic service opportunity. It is a wonderful chance to learn about academia while adding a service element to the Ambassador’s résumé or graduate school application.
Student ambassadors can expect to work the convention for a few hours each day. Tasks can vary from greeting attendees, assisting attendees with finding rooms, poster session setup, registration assistance, photography, videography, etc.
This is a competitive selection process and a limited number of Ambassador slots are available.
