Social Media Ambassador Program
Do you love social media AND Ole Miss? We're looking for currently enrolled students to take our official social media platforms to the next level.
Overview of the Program
By becoming an Ole Miss Social Media Ambassador, students have the opportunity to build on the knowledge they receive in a classroom setting by simultaneously applying it to real-world situations here at University Marketing & Communications. Former SMA’s have gone on to work in higher ed, at various brand agencies, in marketing departments of professional sports teams, and more. Others chose to attend graduate school and went on to receive masters degrees, MBAs, etc. Regardless of what an SMA chooses to do after graduation, the time in our office gives them one foot in the door before they even arrive.
