Student Ambassadors who are accepted into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at CFK will work with the Office of Recruitment or the Upper Keys Campus Engagement Administrator to serve as marketing & recruiting representatives for The College of the Florida Keys. The Ambassadors promote The College of the Florida Keys and its programs and services. An Ambassador must exhibit a complete understanding of The College of the Florida Keys, the campus, the programs, and the vision. The position of an Ambassador is one of high esteem and a source of self-enrichment, which will prove beneficial in future endeavors. Nursing Student Ambassadors must participate in a minimum of 5 hours of activities each week on campus (Monday-Friday) (Upper Keys Campus or Key West Campus). Work assignments may include campus tours, welcoming new students, assisting with orientation and registration, assisting with office duties, and other campus activities.
