My Student Ambassador Experience
by Nialah Mu'min
August of 2018: this was the beginning of my journey
as a Student Ambassador at York Technical College.
During this journey, I was given the chance to
explore my identity on campus outside of being just
a student; not only that but being an ambassador
allowed me to further become a voice for my fellow
schoolmates. As a student ambassador, one is
constantly involved because the opinions and ideas
of current students are greatly valued by the
Student Leadership and Events program. With that
being said, not only was I given the opportunity to
share my own innovations, but I was also allowed to
give an inside sense of the interests of other
students, giving us all a say.
One of the most meaningful aspects of being a student ambassador is being able to
exhibit, challenge, and strengthen one’s leadership skills. Within the branch of leadership,
there is also communication, conceptual skills, responsibility, and determination. Let me
say, each of these skills was indeed tested but I’m especially grateful for each experience,
as growth is an essential part of the program.
While we’re on the topic of growth, I would love to mention the overall environment of a
student ambassador. Personally, although I’m sure many could relate, the environment
was always welcoming and in all honesty, truly diverse. Being a student ambassador is in
short about enthusiasm, growth, and community; throughout my experience, I was
allowed to implement each category in both a safe and supportive space. To add, our
differences and diverse qualities as ambassadors were recognized and used as an
influential factor for our teamwork. New ideas were always brought to the table, and it

was really fascinating to discuss the contrast in perspectives as both students and
individuals. And although I was especially confident before becoming an ambassador,
being able to participate in this program only increased that confidence, especially in
regard to people skills or human relations.
A rise in confidence wasn’t the only element I gained from being placed within social and
communal situations, I also made true connections and cherished friendships; even if
they only are for a season. I’ve met people I never would have if it wasn’t for this program,
and to say the least, I’ve genuinely enjoyed learning about and conversing with each
individual.
Overall, as this month is my last as a student ambassador, I hope I expressed how much I
appreciate this leadership journey and opportunity. Considering that I’m an upcoming
2019 graduate, I’m ecstatic at the fact that I’ll be adding to my academic milestones; but
even then, I’ll miss the discussions, social and institutional involvement, and friendships
experienced as an ambassador. Between you and me, deep down, I wish there was a way
to continue being a student ambassador without being a student. Regardless, I wish
nothing but the best to the Student Leadership and Events program, student
ambassadors (old and new), and every other individual that makes this successful
program available for the campus.
