Griffin Ambassadors

The student face of the admission office.

Griffin Ambassadors (GAs) assist in recruiting the best and brightest to William & Mary. Because they are involved with campus visits, shadow programs, and other admission programs, Griffin Ambassadors have the most contact with our 25,000 annual campus visitors. By joining this program, you will not only be notified about volunteer and employment opportunities within the admission office, but you will also gain invaluable communication and interpersonal skills. In short, you will serve as the face of William & Mary to our visitors!

Commitments for academic year:

• One Griffin Chat every week, where, for one hour, you will help to greet visitors in the Undergraduate Admission office.
  • All weekly chat sessions are either morning (9:15-10:00 AM) or afternoon (1:45-2:30 PM) throughout the semester.
• Three Green & Gold Days in April, where you will host and have lunch with visiting admitted students on campus.
• One "For Students, By Students" virtual panel where you will meet with prospective students to answer any questions or concerns they might have regarding the student experience.
• Two Griffin Shadows in the fall, where you will grab lunch with a prospective student, take them to your classes, and show them what a typical day is like at William & Mary. 
• Additional opportunities to assist the Admission Office.
