Ambassador Corps

    The Craigmont Ambassador Corps is a small group of juniors and seniors who are carefully selected after a rigorous application process. The Ambassadors act as student escorts and guides for the large number of foreign visitors to Craigmont each year. These students are International Studies students who are usually fluent in one or more foreign languages.

    The Ambassadors have a number of duties and responsibilities. First, they must plan an itinerary for each set of visitors. In order to make the visit significant for the visitors, the Ambassadors must study the "bios" of the visitors to determine their purposes for coming to the school. They must then check to see whether or not we have that country's flag hanging in our Hall of Flags. They are responsible for the entire visit, including taking pictures, having the visitors sign the guestbook in the International Center, and preparing advance notification to teachers and staff to schedule classroom visits and special activities.

    Ambassador Corps members also help to maintain the International Center by updating current files on foreign countries, writing follow-up letters to members of tour groups, keeping in contact with foreign embassies, and keeping the bulletin board up to date.

    The Corps is also responsible for a program called the "Foreign Exchange." This project produces a radio program which showcases the International Studies students and program at Craigmont. The Corps also creates and publishes a newsletter reflecting the international program at the school.
