Student Ambassadors volunteer to help with University and faculty events such as Open Day, Experience Day and Orientation Week. It's a role open to all currently enrolled students at the University of Auckland. It’s a great opportunity to build your leadership skills and learn about how our events are run, as well as being the face of the faculty.
