Student Ambassador Resources
The Student Ambassadors Initiative is meant to increase engagement and generate awareness about the LSA among students early in their academic careers, as they prepare to become the next generation of linguists. LSA student ambassadors will increase the visibility of the LSA on multiple campuses and strengthen our connections with linguistics programs and departments across the country.
Please see below for a list of the resources you will find most useful while performing your duties as an LSA Student Ambassador.
If you have suggestions for additions to this page, please send them to David Robinson, Director of Membership and Meetings.
