Student Ambassador Program

Student Ambassadors work under Welcome and Connect Services in the Enrollment Lab and the Proctoring and Placement Center as well as conduct campus tours, represent DVC at various college fairs, give presentations at high schools and more. Student Ambassadors provide insight into DVC from a student perspective by sharing their own experiences.

Through Handshake, you will need to complete and submit a Student Ambassador application, as well as a one-page typed letter of interest explaining why you are interested in becoming a Student Ambassador. You will also need to be able to provide two references upon request. Positions are available at the Pleasant Hill and San Ramon campuses.
