UTSA Ambassadors with adviser Pat Graham
Share this Story(Oct. 21, 2009)--Twelve UTSA Ambassadors and their adviser, Pat Graham, attended the CASE ASAP 2009 Network Convention in Baltimore, Md. The convention theme of "Set Sail for Success" provided three days of learning opportunities for Ambassadors Cortney Blumberg, Juan Buenrostro, Aida Ghazvini, Maya Gonzalez, Ramiro Guerrero, Allison Guettner, Cesar Lopez, Harrison Pierce, Marissa Ramos, Ashley Simpson, Johnathan Thompson, Akshay Thusu and Pat Graham.
A major part of the convention program was educational sessions presented by student representatives. The UTSA Ambassadors presented two educational sessions that were well received by the attendees. "What about Freshmen? UTSA Ambassadors in Training" showcased the UTSA Ambassadors? AIT program, an approach the Ambassadors pioneered in 2006.
"Magic, Chance or Hard Work: What Produces a Successful Program?" allowed the Ambassadors to demonstrate their organizational development strategies of recruitment, selection, training, participation and evaluation.
The opportunities to network with peers, share ideas and best practices, and build friendships allowed the UTSA Ambassadors to bring many new ideas back to the UTSA Ambassador program. The 2009 CASE ASAP Network Convention was a fun, rewarding and educational experience.
Students selected for membership in UTSA Ambassadors serve as student hosts, tour guides and provide other services at the UTSA campuses. Ambassadors engage in a yearlong comprehensive training program including workshops designed for student leadership and communication skills, CPR training, etiquette skills and committee work.
