Student Leadership

Student Ambassadors are work-study or student workers who assist Dakota County Technical College with Student Life programming, college recruitment, retention and community relations.

Student Ambassadors reach out to both future and current students to make them aware of our programs and services. Ambassadors promote student activities and campus involvement. They also assist faculty and staff with campus events.

As a Student Ambassador, you will have an exclusive opportunity to work with DCTC students, faculty and staff while serving as a positive role model to our future and current students.

Student Ambassadors can elect to work fall, spring and/or summer semesters, but are encouraged to make a yearlong commitment to the college. They receive a complimentary Student Ambassador shirt to wear during tours and campus events.
