Ambassador Application

    Please read before filling out the application for the Utah Tech Ambassador Program below

    The Utah Tech Ambassadors are a departmental organization under the Admission's Office. As an Ambassador, you will be supporting the overall Utah Tech University's Admission's goals and mission. 

    Ambassadors are asked to participate in a variety of recruitment events including campus tours, high school visits, overnight campus visits, as well as other recruitment programs. Traveling off campus will be required for any ambassador on the team. Additional participation in recruitment committees and campus involvement is encouraged. An Ambassador should be a well-rounded individual who loves Utah Tech University and wants to support the overall growth and mission of the University as a whole. To read more, please see the Ambassador Contract.
     
    As an Ambassador, you join a group of students who becomes your family. That family is guided by a Mission, a Creed, and an Ethos. Please read them below and ask yourself if you identify with them: 

    The Mission of Utah Tech Ambassadors is three fold:
    Connect with Each Other: The Ambassador program is a
    family of high-achieving individuals. Our first and foremost
    priority is to uplift and support each other.

    Connect with Others: Our highest priority beyond our
    immediate Ambassador family is going out of our way to
    ensure others feel welcome and supported.

    Connect with Self: Each member of the Ambassador family is
    dedicated to self-improvement. The ultimate mission is for
    each Ambassador to become a complete individual with
    positive influence in the world.
     
    Ambassador Creed:
    I do not seek to passively exist, but to actively live, learn, and connect with others. Therefore, I volunteered and was selected to join a prestigious family of other high-achieving individuals.

    I chose to accept this great opportunity. I am compensated for my time, but the savor of service and a life of purpose is compensation enough.

    I am a leader. I know that to lead is to serve; and in whatever capacity I serve, I lead. Love is my motivation.

    I am at all times the ideal representative, in word and action, of my university, my fellow ambassadors, my family at home, and my self. I am the integrity of what and who I represent.

    I take extreme ownership over everything in my world. I blame no one; I’m entitled to nothing. I embrace my failures, learn from them, and boldly move past them. Success happens because I make it happen.

    I am a complete individual. No one enjoys life, nor lives it to the fullest more than me.

    For I am a Utah Tech Ambassador; I’m ALL IN!
     
    The 5 Ethos of an "ALL IN!" Ambassador:
    1. Exhibit Extreme Ownership
    2. Trust The Process
    3. Have a Commitment to Excellence
    4. Be Coachable
    5. Have Fun

    Because the primary function of the Ambassador program is to assist prospective Utah Tech students, Ambassadors should have strong interpersonal skills, the ability to work in team environments, and display enthusiasm for UT. Your application should convey your skills, experience, and assets to the Reviewing Committee. (Following review of portfolios, applicants may receive an invitation to interview.)
