Celebrating the first Google Student Ambassador Summit in Latin America
July 31, 2012
In mid-May, the Google Buenos Aires office hosted 21 university students selected as 2012-2013 Google Student Ambassadors for the first-ever Latin America Ambassador Summit. The students represent 12 universities across 4 countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Ambassadors traveled from far and wide, some even leaving their home countries for the first time, to make their way to the Google office in Puerto Madero, right in the heart of Buenos Aires.
The two-day summit provided Ambassadors with knowledge and resources necessary to hit campus with a bang in first year of the program in Latin America. Ambassadors attended interactive training sessions about Google products, such as Google Apps for Education, Google+ & Chrome, interacted with Googlers across a variety of different teams & backgrounds, and built an international network of Google peers and friends. And in addition to all the business, students bonded on the rooftop of a city-wide bus tour, competed in some close rounds of Jenga & foosball, and enjoyed many outings to check out the local sights and cuisine of the beautiful city.
The
Google Student Ambassador Program
is an opportunity for students to serve as liaisons between Google and their universities. This year the program will include over 1,000 students across 65 countries globally.
We hope that bringing these students together helped them to learn more about Google's tools and programs and build lasting relationships with Googlers and fellow Ambassadors. We strongly believe that this outstanding group of Ambassadors in Latin America will continue to utilize the wealth of resources provided to them to not only serve as liaisons between their campuses and Google, but leaders amongst their peers and community.
