Becoming a CAFES Ambassador
CAFES Ambassadors are comprised of general members and Senior Ambassadors. All CAFES students are encouraged and welcome to participate in the CAFES Ambassadors organization by attending meetings to hear from industry speakers, participating in chat and information sessions with prospective students, or in events such as Open House.
CAFES Senior Ambassadors are selected following an application process and represent all of the college’s 15 majors and also serve as a student advisory panel for the college. Ambassadors are chosen through a selection process and enjoy opportunities to enhance their leadership skills while gaining invaluable knowledge about Cal Poly and the agriculture, food and environmental sciences industries. They also develop close working relationships with the CAFES dean, dean’s advisory council, and other college leaders.
CAFES Ambassadors begins recruiting new members and at the start of each Fall quarter, and CAFES Senior Ambassadors at the end of Fall Quarter. The application process to become a CAFES Senior Ambassador includes submission of a written application and attendance at one mandatory information session. Once written applications are received and reviewed, a limited number of applicants are invited to in-person interviews with the current officer team. You must attend one info session along with submitting a completed application.
