Your resource for firsthand Ecampus student experience, advice and more

Jennifer wanted to go back to school, and she wanted to do it online. But she didn’t know how she was going to juggle her full-time career, caring for her family and this new commitment to her education.

What she needed most was to hear from someone who had done what she wanted to accomplish — and someone who believed she could do it, too. That’s when she reached out to the Oregon State University Ecampus student ambassadors.

The Ecampus student ambassadors helped answer all of Jennifer’s questions and reassured her about going back to school to complete her degree online — because they’d been in her shoes. The ambassador program is designed specifically to assist people just like Jennifer.

Oregon State Ecampus has a team of full-time, dedicated enrollment services specialists who answer technical questions related to program requirements, the application process, transfer information and more.

In addition to those experts, there is a team of active students who serve as ambassadors. The Ecampus student ambassadors provide firsthand online student experience and advice that many prospective students search for before they decide to enroll.

Meet this year’s Ecampus ambassadors

Annmarie developed an interest in marketing through entrepreneurial aspirations and a curiosity for how consumers’ brains work. Whether she applies that knowledge to corporate life or starting her own business, she is eager to put her expanding skill set to use after graduation.

“I was driven to be a student ambassador by my deep desire to help people. I had a rocky start to my college path, and if I had access to what OSU had to offer when I was starting out, I would likely have graduated a while ago,” Annmarie says. “I’ve found so much love and support through Oregon State, and I want others to know what is available to them if they decide to be an Ecampus student. I want to help make a difference in someone’s life.”

Connect with an ambassador

The Ecampus student ambassadors host regular webinars to discuss their Oregon State experience and give prospective students an opportunity to ask questions, learn about specific programs and get perspective on how to successfully handle student life.

If you’d like to connect, you can schedule an appointment that works for your schedule to chat about all things Ecampus and OSU.
