About the role
Global Alumni Ambassadors are voluntary representatives and act as a key link between the University and alumni communities. Ambassadors are local points of contact who connect with fellow alumni, support student recruitment activities, help to develop research links, and share career experiences with students.
The role gives you the opportunity to build and develop the alumni network in your region, enhance your own CV, make new connections, and give back to Loughborough.

This time will predominantly be spent connecting with fellow alumni, communicating with university staff in the Alumni Engagement team, or meeting with our Global Engagement team to support them with in-country work such as student recruitment activities, pre-departure events and providing regional intelligence.
We would like our ambassadors to organise alumni meet-ups or events a couple of times per year. At those times, the role may take up a few extra hours.
Training and ongoing support in this voluntary position will be provided by the Alumni Engagement team.
