Ambassadors go multicultural
■ New recruiters are making an
effort to attract students of color
to the University
By Kara Cogswell
Oregon Daily Emerald
Since the Ambassador Program
began a year and a half ago, estab
lishing a connection between cur
rent University students and
prospective students has been at the
core of its mission.
However, with a new focus on
multicultural recruitment this year,
- six of the 25 ambassadors will also
have another goal — attracting more
students of color to the University.
These six ambassadors, called
multicultural recruiters, were hired
last spring as part of a larger effort
by the University Office of Admis
sions to attract a more diverse stu
dent body.
Cora Bennett, the interim direc
tor for the Ambassador Program,
said the multicultural recruiters
will act in much the same capacity
as other ambassadors. Like other
members of the orientation staff,
she said, they will give campus
tours, help with orientation ses
sions and call high school students
throughout the year.
In addition to the training other
ambassadors receive, multicultural
recruiters will be trained specifical

ly for recruiting students of color,
Bennett said. For example, multi
cultural recruiters will have exten
sive knowledge of diversity schol
arships and other campus resources
available to students of color.
These new ambassadors will also
work closely with the recently hired
Tomas Hulick of the Office of Ad
missions, she said.
Nelly Ganesan, one of two stu
dent directors for the Ambassador
Program, said multicultural re
cruiters were selected because of
their knowledge of campus re
sources and organizations, as well
as for their desire to recruit a more
diverse student body.
Psith Kong, a junior and third
year ambassador, is one of the mul
ticultural recruiters. While all am
bassadors will work with students
of color, she said, the multicultural
recruiters will be a resource other
ambassadors can turn to when they
need more in-depth information
about diversity programs on cam
pus.
Kong said the recruiters are “the
voice for students of color. ”
The admissions office will give
multicultural recruiters a list of stu
dents to call, Bennett said. Names
on that list are often compiled
through ethnic background infor
mation provided by students on
SAT tests and information cards,
she said.
One of the first goals of the multi
cultural recruiters will be to encour
age students of color to attend Duck
Preview Day, an orientation session
held at the end of October. In the
past, Bennett said, those who attend
the event have “typically been 1800
students who are white. ”
This year, the program will put
on four workshops during the ses
sion aimed at students of students
of color, she said.
The old “Gateway,” a one-day
orientation session aimed at stu
dents of color, has also been re
placed with seven monthly ses
sions called “Connections,”
Bennett said, in order to provide
more opportunities for multicultur
al recruitment.
Multicultural recruiters are con
centrating mostly on students from
Oregon this year, as well as some
students from Washington and Cali
fornia, Bennett said. Next year pro
gram coordinators plan to expand
multicultural recruitment to other
areas of the ambassadors’ territory
as well.
Sophomore Nick Madani, anoth
er multicultural recruiter, is new to
the Ambassador staff this year. He
said he decided to apply for the po
sition because diversity “adds more
life to the campus. ”
“We can learn more from each
other when we meet people from
other places,” he said.
