UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — PSU Votes, Penn State’s "get out the vote" initiative, is now accepting applications for its student ambassador program. PSU Votes ambassadors play a key role in the University's nonpartisan program within the Center for Character, Conscience, and Public Purpose, a unit of Student Affairs.
Interested students can apply by completing the online form. The deadline to apply for the 2022-23 academic year is Aug. 1.
Student ambassador responsibilities include helping to educate their peers on the process of voting, including how to register and vote, and how to acquire nonpartisan information on candidates and issues. Ambassadors deliver brief presentations and workshops in classes, student organization meetings, and residence hall communities. They also provide tabling and other opportunities for voter registration and education at both on- and off-campus events and locations.
Student ambassadors also assist with the development of new initiatives and educational or promotional materials and programs to engage students in the voting process in coordination with the PSU Votes Advisory Committee.
Ambassadors are expected to dedicate at least 30 hours per semester to PSU Votes activities and training.
