Student Ambassadors (SABRs)
SABRs, short for Social and Behavioral Representatives, are student leaders who work directly with the CSBS Dean’s Office to represent the college, support engagement efforts and share their perspectives on the student experience.
As members of the Dean’s Student Leadership Council, SABRs serve as a student voice for the college. They share their perspectives with college leadership, participate in focus groups and provide insight on programs, communications and the overall CSBS student experience. Students may also represent the college with alumni, donors, advisory boards and other university and community partners.
Represent CSBS
Throughout the semester, SABRs take part in a variety of college activities, including:
- Welcoming prospective students and families at visit days and other recruitment events
- Assisting with campus and college tours
- Representing CSBS at alumni, donor and college events
- Engaging with advisory boards and other external partners
- Providing student feedback to the Dean’s Office
- Supporting college marketing, communications and special projects
- Participating in community service and other engagement opportunities
The experience gives students the opportunity to build leadership, communication and professional skills while helping shape the future of CSBS.
Commitment & Internship Experience
Students commit to serving for one semester and may apply to continue for additional semesters.
SABRs may also choose to earn an official internship notation on their UNI transcript by completing at least 50 hours of service with the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences. The internship notation does not carry academic credit but formally recognizes the student’s professional and leadership experience.
Interested in Becoming a SABR?
SABRs are nominated by their department heads based on their leadership, engagement and ability to represent the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences.
Students who are interested in serving as a SABR are encouraged to connect with their department head to learn more about the nomination process.
