2015 Jan 8

Lexi Marek, of Riverside, IA, majoring in Public Service and Administration in Agriculture at #IowaState, successfully completed Fall 2014 as a member of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Ambassadors. This highly selective group of students plays a pivotal role in the recruitment activities of the college.

Members of this group, open to all students in the college, are required to log at least 20 hours of volunteering each semester and maintain attendance and participation requirements. Ambassadors serve actively on one of seven committees, each tasked with specific duties related to the purposes of recruitment and engagement within the college.

Marek served as a member of the Junior Visit Day Committee, who planned a day-long event on campus in November for approximately 100 high school juniors. The committee organized registration, invitations, logistics, presentations, and volunteers to make the event meaningful for attendees.

Over the course of fall 2014, the Ambassadors saw 745 prospective students on campus and logged 1,460 volunteer hours.

Governing the Ambassadors is a leadership team who is made up of committee chairs, a representative from each committee, and elected officers which includes a chairperson, vice-chair, and secretary. The CALS Ambassadors are advised by Beth Foreman, Student Services, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
