Are you a student who is passionate about the environment and a strong believer in the power of education to make change?
Curtin’s University Advancement team is looking for a diverse mix of nine student champions who will work in partnership with staff and serve as champions (spokespersons) for the Planet Positive certificate/specialisation, including fundraising and sponsorship appeals.
What’s involved?
The commitment will be 1-2 hours per week over the semester and participation may be counted towards Curtin Extra recognition through the Student Partnership and Voice program.
Champions will:
- Always operate and deliver outcomes within the framework of Curtin’s values.
- Actively help promote the Program and scholarship scheme externally with a view to helping raise awareness and funds for the scholarships.
- Devote one to two hours a week to Champion activity which may include meetings, media training, photo and film shoots, and providing feedback and recommendations on strategies, tactics, collateral and creatives.
- Respond to correspondence from University Advancement within a 12-hour period.
There is also the possibility that the commitment may extend into semester two of this year.
Further details can be found in the Student Champion guidelines [.pdf 531kB].
