Your Time Commitment

We ask Admissions Alumni Ambassadors to participate in a variety of recruitment activities through the year. You'll spend the majority of your volunteer hours attending college fairs, which typically run about two hours long.

College Fairs

Fairs are held throughout the fall and spring, usually at local high schools. Ambassadors represent Colorado State University by distributing materials, answering general questions regarding the University and encouraging students to complete the contact card. The cards are the basis for all future contact we have with prospective students.

Early Advising Sessions

These programs are held in select major cities across the country. Admitted new freshmen and their parents are invited to meet with academic faculty/staff to learn more about the advising process at Colorado State and to identify appropriate classes students will need to register for in the fall semester. Admissions Alumni Ambassadors are needed in the spring to assist Admissions Counselors and faculty/staff advisers with these programs.

Information Sessions

These programs are offered throughout the year both in and out of Colorado, and at times are held in conjunction with a University event such as a football game, Bowl game or with an Early Advising Session. At an Information Session, students and their families have the opportunity to meet with admissions staff, faculty and Colorado State alumni from their area, who share imporatant information about our admission requirements and application process, academic programs of study, housing, financial aid and scholarships, and student life.

Student Contact

As an Admissions Alumni Ambassador, you may personally contact and/or be contacted by students in your local area, participate in mailing congratulation cards to admitted students in your area each spring,share your experiences, and address questions students and their parents may have about Colorado State University.

Student Referral
