Ambassadorial tasks include helping with conversion and orientation activities for foundation offer-holders, participating in webinars, attending orientation events, and engaging in focus group work. The selection process involves submitting both an application form and a two-minute video presentation demonstrating personal development during foundation studies and potential as an effective ambassador for IE.
