What our ambassadors have to say about the program

To be an Orientation Ambassador is to be the face of Deakin, representing its inclusive and welcoming brand. It’s the chance to give life and add colour to the student community, ensuring it is a safe space, a home away from home, a cohesive unit that values its diversity, and celebrates academic and social wellbeing.
