Becoming a Raven Ambassador
Raven Ambassadors are chosen through an application and interview process. Prospective ambassadors are required to submit an application, which includes an essay on why they think they can best represent RACC. Applicants are then selected for an interview based on their campus involvement, essay and academic history.
Raven Ambassadors are required to commit to participating in a training program, working 15 hours per week throughout the year, attending a weekly team meeting, and working during certain campus events. They must maintain a 2.5 grade point average (GPA) and act in a manner that positively represents RACC at all times. Finally, all applicants must meet a certain financial need as determined by our Financial Aid Department.
