Posting Ambassador Positions

Reminders: • The University of Texas does not allow us to post

positions that require students soliciting on campus on behalf of companies.

• We cannot post Campus Ambassador positions.

• According to UT Legal Affairs and the Dean of Students Student Activity and Leadership Development Office, any activity on campus to recruit in an undesignated public space; to market or promote any unapproved products or services; and to collect student information on campus without authorization is considered soliciting.

Communication w/StudentsEffectively Communicating with Students

– Come to campus to conduct interviews

– The Organization – Corp Responsibility, Mission, Goals, Culture

– Clarify opportunities (e.g. position, location, program, reporting, structure).“Various” is not helpful.

– Titles and Mentors Matter

– Access to Management and Leadership Programs

– Personalized and timely communication throughout the interview process.--Communicate “no”, not just “yes”, even if by email.
