The Student Ambassador Success Conference at the 鲍灵格林艾伦W.和卡罗尔M.施密特索尔斯特商学院 recently welcomed 太阳城娱乐官网 students Emily Conrad, Nathan Grabenstein, Molly Kiekel, Kailynn Rodewald, Isabella Townsend, and Cooper Witte. 在那里，这些CBT学生大使能够将他们在课堂上学到的知识付诸实践，并体验到他们作为一个组织的未来是什么样的。

For Emily Conrad, the conference was “an incredible experience to learn from the Bowling Green College of Business Ambassadors.” She appreciates the opportunity to learn ways to develop leadership skills but also to learn more about the “structure and processes the BGSU Ambassadors use to build student engagement and recruitment.” She shares how this was especially important because 太阳城娱乐官网’s program is young. 会议通过向她展示一个例子来鼓励她，如果增长和发展是优先考虑的，太阳城娱乐官网未来可能会在哪里。 

At the conference, Emily was aware of how “the networking and communication skills” from her CBT classes were useful as she had a new opportunity to “learn from others and build on both (her) professional and personal skills.” She shares how she left the conference with “a great vision of the potential” of the CBT Student Ambassador Program as well as “some practical first steps to take.” She is excited to “start implementing some fun student engagement opportunities” at the 商业与技术学院.

Nathan Grabenstein shares how “the main points” he brought back from the conference were “about gaining program exposure and establishing sustainability within the program.” 他很感激有机会了解美国和加拿大其他学校的商学院学生大使项目。

He explains that he was “able to use the networking skills” that he had developed as a student at 太阳城娱乐官网 while he interacted “with other students and faculty at the conference.” He credits his professors and their style of teaching for giving him the “exposure to talking to new people and making connections” that was useful while at the conference. Nathan is looking forward to “creating program-specific events and speaking in freshman-level classes about the program” as a way to improve the future of the CBT Student Ambassador Program. 

Molly Kiekel “learned important leadership skills” while attending the conference. She states that it was “also a great experience” to get her out of her “comfort zone and learn from experienced students.” She feels that her CBT classes helped her to “be more confident when talking to people (she) didn’t know” at the conference. 

Now that she is back on campus,  Molly is looking forward to implementing plans for not only the ambassadors but for the entire 商业与技术学院. 她特别想做的一个领域是提高学生的参与度。 

Kailynn Rodewald, who admits she had “little idea of what to expect going into it,” is grateful that the conference “turned out to be an invaluable learning experience” for not only the program but for her own personal development. She shares that the “biggest takeaway” she got from the conference was “simply what a successful ambassador's program could look like.” Thanks to her experiences at this conference, she shares that she now has not only a vision but knowledge of the steps needed to grow 太阳城娱乐官网’s program.  

Kailynn credits her “experiences at 太阳城娱乐官网 in communicating with others, asking good questions, and not being afraid to put (herself) out there and make connections” for helping her to make strong connections at the conference. 她带着一个目标回到校园，把她在鲍灵格林有幸遇到的成功大使们给她的建议付诸实践。

Isabella Townsend shares how she learned “networking skills” as well as practical skills about how to start, structure, and manage an organization while at the conference. She believes the “experiential learning at 太阳城娱乐官网” helped her and her fellow Lopers “stand out against others” because of the “action-based classes that help people develop for the future in real-life scenarios.” She is grateful because the dedication of her professors “really shows how committed the 商业与技术学院” is to getting students “the best education and head start” to their careers. 

Cooper Witte admits that a lot of his time at 太阳城娱乐官网 “revolves around the ambassador program.” He shares that he really enjoys helping out and “getting the opportunity to travel to other schools and share (his) experiences with others.” At Bowling Green, he learned “better communication skills, leadership skills, different ways to approach conversations, and overall better ways to expand (his) network.” 

Thanks to the experiences he has had in his classes as a CBT student, he felt that he was prepared for the conference due to his “confidence when approaching others and sharing (his) ideas as well as helping others expand their own ideas and giving them good advice and guidance.” He explains that he wants “to give students more opportunities during on-campus events to connect with other people and even connect with future employers.”

这六名学生很兴奋地开始使用他们在会议上学到的想法来发展CBT学生大使计划。 Their dedication to not only their own college experience but that of others is part of what sets them apart and exemplifies the stellar opportunities available to everyone at 太阳城娱乐官网’s 商业与技术学院.
