      STUDENT AMBASSADORS PROGRAM

      What is this program? Select undergraduates in the College of Science and Technology will serve one- or two-year terms as Ambassadors for the college. Ambassadors will have the opportunity to attend special meetings with the dean at which they can share their views and prespectives about their academic experiences at Southern Miss. They will act as hosts at special events, serve as tour guides or visitors to the college, and will serve as peer mentors in the Freshman Mentor Program.
      Who is eligible to participate? Students who will have sophomore, junior or senior status in the Spring of 2010 and who major in one of the programs in the College of Science and Technology are eligible to apply. A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required.
      Who will be selected? Ambassadors are students who have the ability to be excellent representatives for the college. We are seeking individuals who have a strong academic record, who enjoy interacting with others, and who would find it satisfying to serve the college in this way.
      How does one apply for this program? Applications are available in the Dean's Office (TEC 103) or in the various departmental offices. Applications for the 2011-2012 program must include a current resume and a letter of recommendation sent directly to the dean's office.

      • SUMMER RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATES
        There are a number of options for undergraduate students in the College of Science and Technology to pursue meaningful research opportunities while they are enrolled at the University of Southern Mississippi. Some students volunteer in the labs of a faculty member or they serve as support personnel and are paid as work study students. Others earn academic credit for one or more semesters of involvement in an ongoing research project. Some students do research because they plan to graduate with Latin honors, either as a member of the Honors College, which requires a senior honors project, or by pursuing alternate Latin honors.
