Alumni Ambassador Program

The Alumni Ambassador Program is a collaborative effort between the Bellarmine University Office of Admission and the Office of Alumni Relations.  The purpose of this endeavor is to create a special group of alumni dedicated in helping recruit students to the University. Each ambassador is asked to contribute approximately 5-10 hours in various recruitment efforts per year in all three areas of focus:

1. Student Referrals- Ambassadors can actively recruit prospective students by submitting student referrals. CLICK HERE to refer a student.
2. Personal Contact through Phone Calls- Ambassadors will make personal contact with prospective students through phone calls.
3. Point of Contact- Ambassadors will serve as the point of contact for Bellarmine Admission Counselors who may need additional assistance in managing a particular state, region, or high school.

   Ways Alumni Ambassadors may be asked to help:

   • Represent Bellarmine at a College Fair or Academic Signing
   • Participate in the Bellarmine Alumni Book Award Program
   • Host a reception or a Summer Send Off for prospective students and guests
   • Attend one of the various receptions hosted by the Alumni/Admission Offices
