As our main point of contact within our member institutions, Ambassadors play a crucial role in facilitating exchange and collaboration across the Commonwealth.
Nominating an ³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏAmbassador ensures you are kept updated on the range of benefits available to you, from events and webinars to communities of practice, policy roundtables, international delegations and access to grants and awards.
To make the most of your membership, the ³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïstrongly encourages all member universities to provide contact details for a member of staff willing to take up a voluntary role of ³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏAmbassador.
³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏAmbassadors (formerly known as ³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏChampions) should have an international remit (for example: a role in the international office, or in global partnerships) at an ³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïmember university. Ambassadors are typically nominated by Vice-Chancellors to help facilitate stronger two-way communication between the ³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïand a member university.
The Ambassador acts as the main point of contact for the ACU, to help identify internal contacts for a variety of opportunities on offer from the ACU, and to discuss a member’s priorities with the ³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïfor support.
Every year, the ³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïorganises a flagship event exclusively for our ³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏAmbassadors at member universities​.
In recognition of the crucial role that our Ambassadors play, we issue digital credentials that allow them to demonstrate their role and their membership of the ACU. These credentials also facilitate connection and collaboration with other Ambassadors across the Commonwealth.
To discuss the role or send in a nomination, please send an email to the ³¯Ñô³Ô¹ÏMembership team with the subject line ‘Ambassador nomination’ at: membership@acu.ac.uk
