International Student Services employs a team of student workers who support and uplift the international community on campus. Serving as early connection points before students arrive, a safety net during their first semesters, and a continued source of guidance throughout their time at the University of Arizona, our team plays a vital role in student success.
We offer both year-round and seasonal Global Ambassador positions. Global Ambassadors are key leaders in welcoming and assisting new international students, helping them feel supported, connected, and engaged within the University of Arizona community.
This is an exciting opportunity for students who are passionate about helping others, fostering cross-cultural connections, and making a meaningful impact on campus.
