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.
This is a $2,000 professional development opportunity for the spring 2023 semester that will consist of working 5 hours per week with compensation at $16.04 per hour, with 3 additional $400 stipends provided upon completion of each of the 3 projects/deliverables.

Ambassadors must be able to work 50 hours during the first 10-12 weeks of the spring semester and commit to 8 hours of SDG training.
With faculty partners, ambassadors will co-create a student-led SDG program to:

2. Evaluate global networks to build effective global collaboration on the SDGs.
3. Design an SDG campus event and present the SDG Ambassador Program design to a panel of key stakeholders.
