Welcome

College of Marin Student Services, Kentfield Campus

The College of Marin’s mission is to provide educational opportunities for all students and community members: preparation for transfer to four-year schools and universities, workforce education, basic skills improvement, intellectual and physical development, and cultural enrichment. The College is committed to responding to community needs by offering student-centered programs and services in a supportive, innovative learning environment. The College of Marin pledges educational excellence to all members of our diverse community.

Student Ambassadors

In the Spring Semester of 2007, the office of Outreach and School Relations developed a prospective student recruitment and leadership capability through the establishment of the Student Ambassador Program.

Student Ambassadors are second year COM students in good academic standing who are paid and trained to be our first line of contact for prospective students in the community.

Student Ambassadors’ training and work responsibilities include:

Public Relations: contact development and management
Outreach: General information sharing to small and large groups alike
Recruitment: prospective student contact, information sharing/collecting and follow up

The objectives of the Student Ambassadors are:

To create an active and visible presence of the College in the community
To provide concise and useful information to students and prospective students on the process of matriculation and services available at the College
To gather data on prospective students
To follow up with prospective students on referral or service-related queries
To provide scheduled and as needed tours on campus
To assist the office of Outreach & School Relations on event delivery
To provide new students information and support during the beginning of each semester.

Currently, the program has three Student Ambassadors who report to the Outreach Coordinator, Anna L. Pilloton. The Student Ambassadors work 5-15 hours per week and 50% of their work is off campus.

Student Ambassadors work primarily off-campus by tabling a booth at the following venues in Marin County:

Marin County Public High Schools (at least once per month per school)
Farmers Markets
Community Based Organizations
Community events

When Student Ambassadors are not out in the community they are working the “Outreach Welcome Window” located in SS 232, helping other students to register for classes at the portals or working in the outreach office: developing new venues for recruitment, doing data entry information of prospective students, or following up with e-mail or letter correspondence with prospective students.
