==What is a WikiVet International Student Ambassador?==
    
WikiVet is an international resource aimed at vet students, vets and nurses across the globe, and we want to make sure that it is used as widely as possible throughout the world. To do this we need to let students know that WikiVet is here, what resources and content they can find on the site, and new developments, offers and events as they come up. And who better to tell students, than students?! So we're on the look out for student ambassadors - our aim is to have one or two WikiVet Student Ambassadors for every vet school in the world. We know that's pretty ambitious but we like to aim high!

   −
WikiVet's student ambassadors act as a point of contact for the WikiVet team in their school, and help WikiVet to keep everybody informed about new developments and opportunities to make sure they don't miss out.  
+
The work of a WikiVet ambassador is intended to be interesting without demanding too much of your time in order not to compromise your veterinary studies. Past ambassadors have told us that they enjoy contributing to a global project that shares knowledge and allows them to get to know students in other countries.

WikiVet's International Student Ambassadors act as a point of contact for the WikiVet team within their school, and help WikiVet to keep everybody informed about new developments and opportunities to make sure they don't miss out.

WikiVet already has international ambassadors all over the world who help to promote WikiVet, and some of our student ambassadors have been involved for many years. However, the idea of being a student, is that one day (and it may seem a long way off at times) you graduate and need to pass on the baton to students in years below you. So we are now looking for student ambassadors (up to two from each school) from all over the world to help us spread the word.
