New this year, University Libraries has organized a group of student ambassadors to help bridge the gap between Ball State students’ needs and University Libraries’ services. The group is comprised of a diverse pool of majors from many of the schools across campus. The charter of the Student Ambassadors group states that the purpose of the team is to “…create student ambassadors for the Ball State University Libraries, empowering student voices in the informed decision-making and outreach of University Libraries. The team of student ambassadors will provide advisement to university libraries on their programs, services, resources, spaces, and outreach. Ambassadors will also promote University Libraries among their peers and serve as a liaison to the colleges they represent, and will be invited to play a role in outreach and service opportunities.”
