About Alumni Ambassadors
-
The Alumni Ambassador program was established to help transform alumni involvement and position 911ÖÆÆ·³§ graduates as ambassadors for the school. The goal was to expand upon the existing Student and Parent Ambassador model to create a diverse, inclusive culture that encourages 911ÖÆÆ·³§ graduates to take part in the alumni community through multiple entry points.
The Alumni Ambassador program provides alums with a platform to share their unique experiences and knowledge about 911ÖÆÆ·³§ in the community, in support of Alumni Association events, and to assist future graduates in connecting with other alumni of 911ÖÆÆ·³§. Their efforts as key influencers help to maximize the reputation of 911ÖÆÆ·³§ and promote community engagement that connects alumni with parents, educators, students and community.
Alumni Ambassadors are recent graduates of 911ÖÆÆ·³§ who help foster connections and build partnerships with the high school by participating in activities and events that make the 911ÖÆÆ·³§ experience a positive one for current students and other alumni. Alumni Ambassadors are interested in connecting with alumni in Evanston/Skokie, places around the world, and in specific areas of career or academic interest.
Alumni Ambassadors:
- Provide guidance to alumni seeking information about 911ÖÆÆ·³§
- Connect with current 911ÖÆÆ·³§ students pursuing college, career, and post-secondary resources
