Google Ambassador Program

Google Ambassador Program

All of the Google Ambassadors for 2007-08 have already been selected and contacted. Students who are interested in applying for the 2008-09 academic year should visit this site again during summer 2008 to apply.

The Google Ambassador Program rewards hard-working engineering students by allowing them to take a study break on Google. Google ambassadors identify opportunities to order pizza for their computer science peers, most often around project deadlines or exams. Ambassadors are Google’s main point of contact, and responsible for making the program successful at their university. Take a look at some of the hungry college students Google is feeding!

The study break you’ve been searching for

Ambassador responsibilities:
  • Representing Google at your university for the academic year.
  • Organizing study breaks for up-and-coming software engineers who are toiling away in computer labs late at night.
  • Impressing your friends with your Google gear!
Ambassador requirements:
  • Computer science major or related fields
  • One-year commitment
  • Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible
  • Excellent study habits and pizza-eating skills
  • Ability to recruit other pizza-eaters, and keep them happy, one pizza at a time

Program Specifics

The spirit of the Ambassador program is meant for smaller, spur-of-the-moment venues. Whether you are coding in the labs, prepping for an all-nighter in the department lounge, or conducting a meeting with a specific CS club, Google wants to support hard working computer science students. We also want to make sure that you don’t go hungry or study on an empty stomach.

Ambassador benefits include:

  • Leadership role
  • Exposure for your university at Google
  • Free food
  • Google gear
  • Admiration from your CS peers

Please note that this is a volunteer position, and is, quite simply, a fun way for Google to support that great things you do all year long.

How to apply

Applications will be opening later this year. Please return shortly for more details on how to apply and for participating universities.
