What is the Alumni Ambassador Program?
Our Alumni Ambassador Program is a volunteer initiative that engages dedicated UNE graduates to serve as advocates, mentors, and champions of the University of New England. Ambassadors play a vital role in career mentorship, alumni engagement and community building.
As ambassadors, you have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to the university community by guiding current students and recent graduates in their career development, strengthening alumni connections through regional events and networking opportunities, supporting recruitment efforts with your authentic UNE stories, and fostering a stronger, more connected alumni network.
Time Commitment
We understand that our ambassadors have busy professional and personal lives. The program is designed to be flexible, with time commitments that can be negotiated based on your availability and interests. Whether you have just a few hours to spare or can commit to more regular involvement, we'll work with you to find opportunities that fit your schedule.
