A new class of Google Student Ambassadors hits campus
September 18, 2012
To kick-off the new school year, last month we invited 150 bright and enthusiastic students from universities across the US to join us in Mountain View for our annual two-day Student Ambassador Summit.
At the Summit, our new class of Student Ambassadors learned all about Google’s culture and products ranging from Apps for Education and Google+ to Map Maker and Google Play. Equipped with this knowledge, these students headed back to their respective campuses, ready to share what they’ve learned with their peers, professors, and communities.
When we first launched the Ambassador Program in 2008, our goal was to empower the next generation and equip them with the tools they need to teach others around them how to leverage technology to do things better together. Whether it’s getting their local communities on Google Maps, creating a Google+ page for their college football team, developing a custom Chrome theme for their University, or teaching campus groups how to get organized with Google Apps, these students have awesome ideas and are putting them into action everyday.
And this year we took the program global. In the past twelve months we’ve launched in 65 countries and we hope to continue this expansion. If you’re interested in learning more about this program, please visit the
Google for Students site
and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Ambassador on your campus (who will be easy to spot with their one-of-a-kind Gmail messenger bag).
