hear reports on activities and developments of AARCC
make recommendations to AARCC staff based on needs of various constituencies
act as a strategic group to advocate for AARCC and its needs when required

attend AARCC public events and functions when possible
play an outreach role for AARCC in the community on and off campus
provide engaged support for the work and growth of AARCC

The Ambassador’s specific responsibilities can be flexible and evolving and subcommittees may be formed based on interests of individual members and needs of AARCC.

Terms:

The AARCC Director, in consultation with other AARCC staff, selects members for the AARCC Ambassadors. Member terms are typically an academic year and can be renewed. If you are interested in serving as an AARCC Ambassador in the future, please e-mail us at aarcc@uic.edu.

Meetings:

The AARCC Ambassadors meet once a year. Since the group only meets once a year, all members are expected to attend. The next meeting will be Friday, November 3, 2017.
