With ACS student membership growth, ACS NSW introduced Student Ambassador volunteer role this year – to support delivery of education engagement plan and to connect and support NSW EPC goals. So far this year, Student Ambassadors have supported ACS NSW Emerging Professional events and O’Days at Macquarie University; University of Technology Sydney; The University of Newcastle; Western Sydney University; as well championing ACS to their student community.
"Volunteers play an important part of any membership or professional association. They provide insights from industry, ideas and feedback on what we are doing, and in some cases, hands-on support for events, activities, and programs. Their dedication strengthens our community, drives our mission forward, and ensures that our work remains relevant, responsive, and impactful." Elana Huthnance - NSW State Manager
