The CALS Ambassador program is composed of elite students representing the diverse majors offered within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.<br>The focus of the CALS Ambassador program is to develop student leaders through training in leadership, communications and experiential learning. CALS Ambassadors serve as the student “face” of CALS to stakeholders and prospective students at university, community and industry events across Arizona and throughout the nation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:200%'><span style='color:red'> The CALS Ambassador “Cookies and Maps” is an annual event which takes place on the first two days of the fall semester. Ambassadors mingle with students who are on their way to or from class and give away cookies and water as well as having maps to help new (and not so new) students find their classes. Attendance to the “Cookies and Maps” event will be a mandatory for those wishing to apply to the CALS Ambassador program. There is a minimum commitment of one (1) hour at the Cookies and Maps table. My preference would be to have those interested complete their time in no more than two (2) 30 minute shifts, however, in order to accommodate various schedules, the one (1) hour commitment can consist of a minimum of 15 minute intervals and can be spread out over the course of Monday and Tuesday. No need to RSVP, attend at your convenience and remember to sign in. <br></span><br> Only those completing this requirement will be eligible to attend the information session on Thursday August 29th and receive the CALS Ambassador application.<br><br>“Cookies and Maps” will take place in front of the Forbes Building from 7am to 10am on Monday August 26th and Tuesday August 27th.
