Southwest Ambassadors serve as orientation guide leads, campus tour leaders, peer mentors, and community liaisons. Southwest Ambassadors will assist with in-person orientation sessions, high school tours, and other Southwest events.
If selected as an Ambassador, you must be available on the respective Fridays for high school campus tours and the Summer/Fall 2025 orientation dates (May 16, August 7, August 12, August 20, and August 23). This is mandatory. Exclusive campus tours may also be required. Selected students will be asked to come in for a meet-and-greet once applicants are selected and notified after the last day to apply. After Ambassadors are selected, ambassadors are required to participate in mandatory training on Wednesday, May 14.
The Ambassador program is a great opportunity to make network connections, get to know Southwest’s faculty, staff, and students, and serve your community. You will guide, direct, inform, and teach prospective students on how to navigate student life. Prospective students gain invaluable insight from student ambassadors, which will help them understand what it means to be a successful college student.
Students selected as a Southwest Ambassador will receive a stipend of up to $400 (amount subject to change based on number of tours and duties as assigned).
