STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The Student Ambassador Program (SAP) serves in an advisory capacity by providing feedback and making recommendations on matters that impact the experience of Queen’s University students at the graduate and undergraduate level, across all faculties. The goal of SAP is to ensure that gallery policies, programs, and services provided are reflective of students’ diverse perspectives, needs, and interests. SAP also acts as a resource and focus group. Students provide feedback on pitched programs and also increase engagement with fellow students by sharing information about the gallery’s programs, opportunities, and exhibitions throughout the fall and winter semesters.

TIME COMMITMENT

Student Ambassadors are expected to attend monthly meetings and provide quarterly reports to the Board, or as needed. This volunteer program has a 4 hr/month commitment, with the option to be more involved with other volunteer opportunities such as pop-up booths and extra hands at events.

SAP is led by a Chair or Co-Chairs who lead the program’s activities, report on SAP’s progress, and recommend advisory actions to the Board. Chairs or Co-Chairs responsibilities include:

• Call meetings, create agendas, and keep the meetings on task and time;
• Lead and develop the committee’s work plan(s) and major goals, including AMS and SGPS fee referenda;
• Design and distribute powerpoint updates and manage SAP email communications; Delegate tasks and monitor progress;
• Ensure the program is working collaboratively and each member has the floor to speak openly, constructively, and with mutual respect to fellow members;
• Provide regular reports to the Board and year-end report at the Annual General Meeting;
• Recruit members, as needed.
