SDG Student Ambassador Program

As an SDG Student Ambassador, students gain a strong understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), deepen their knowledge of environmental and social responsibility, and enhance professional development skills for their resume. SDG Ambassadors are involved in:

Educating students on the SDGs and their significance in the global community.
Developing programming and events to promote the SDGs within the university community and beyond.
Enhancing SDG knowledge in the community through presentations in classes, student housing and Registered Student Organizations (RSO) meetings

Skills development for Ambassadors include:

Developing strong leadership, organizational and communication skills.
Experience in project management/development and event planning.

This year SDG Student Ambassadors will create an initiative, on or off campus, where their work advances an SDG. At the end of each semester, there will be a showcase event for all Ambassadors to highlight their work and its impact on advancing the SDGs. At the end of the year, the work of all Ambassadors will be captured in a annual annual SDG Ambassador Reflections publication that will be highlighted on the SDG Ambassadors page.

This program is open to all LMU undergraduate students. Ideally, SDG Student Ambassadors will reflect the diversity of majors and demographics across schools/colleges. Ambassadors must maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher and have an interest in engaging with the SDGs.

Co-sponsored by the Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainability (IBES) and the Office of International Programs and Partnerships. For more information, contact Professor Jeff Thies at jeffrey.thies@lmu.edu.
