• Attend the Trustee-Council Annual Meeting (TCAM) every fall
• Participate in Council Interest Group (CIG) Webinars throughout the year
• Read the Council email newsletter each month
• Review the Cornell Alumni Magazine, Cornell Chronicle, Cornell Daily Sun, Ezra Magazine, and other University publications
• Watch previous Council Interest Group and informational webinars
The minimum expectation for council members is at least one ambassador update a year. Recording your updates helps staff and volunteer leaders stay informed about ambassador activity and measures its impact for strategic planning. Updates also provide a convenient way for you to relay any questions or concerns that you may encounter to the appropriate university offices.
Set yourself apart at events and let people know you’re a Council Member by wearing an Ambassador name tag.
