-==What is a WikiVet International Student Ambassador?==
+<big>'''WikiVet are recruiting Student Ambassadors from every Vet School that is registered with WikiVet'''</big>
+<br><br>
-WikiVet is an international resource aimed at vet students, vets and nurses across the globe, and we want to make sure that it is used as widely as possible throughout the world. To do this we need to let students know that WikiVet is here, what resources and content they can find on the site, and new developments, offers and events as they come up. And who better to tell students, than students?! So we're on the look out for student ambassadors - our aim is to have one or two WikiVet Student Ambassadors for every vet school in the world. We know that's pretty ambitious but we like to aim high!
-We are looking for both a senior and a junior ambassador for each school. The senior role is aimed at students in the clinical or later years of their course. Their role will include identifying and supporting a Junior WikIVet Student Ambassador, in the preclinical or earlier years of the course. The Junior ambassador will have the opportunity to be promoted to Senior ambassador when the existing Senior graduates.
 ==Role of the Student Ambassadors==
+We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic students to help spread the word about WikiVet to your Vet Schools.  To do this, we would request that you:
+*speak to your 1st year students about WikiVet
+*liaise with heads of department to discuss integration of WikiVet content into their teaching
+*act as a point of contact for the WikiVet team and help to recruit an academic representative of your vet school
+<br>
-The work of a WikiVet ambassador is intended to be interesting without demanding too much of your time in order not to compromise your veterinary studies. Past ambassadors have told us that they enjoy contributing to a global project that shares knowledge and allows them to get to know students in other countries.
+==What's in it for me?==
+*Successful candidates will become part of the WikiVet team and help shape the site in the future.
-WikiVet's International Student Ambassadors act as a point of contact for the WikiVet team within their school, and help WikiVet to keep everybody informed about new developments and opportunities to make sure they don't miss out.
+*You will be linked to your school's page on WikiVet as the official WikiVet representative.
+*One of you will be selected as a Student Chairman and will be invited to join the WikiVet team at their AGM in the UK.
-The activities that you will be involved in as a WikiVet International Student Ambassador include:
+<br><br>
+==How do I apply?==
-* being the nominated contact point in the school for liaising with WikiVet and other veterinary schools/students wishing to make contact with your school
+Please email the WikiVet team at [mailto:wikimaster@wikivet.net wikimaster@wikivet.net] and include a description of yourself, your use of WikiVet so far and why you feel you would be suitable for the position.  Successful candidates will need a good grasp of the English language.
-* creating and sharing posts on social media and contributing to your own school's online community to increase awareness of WikiVet and our events and projects
-* distributing WikiVet posters and fliers around the school to ensure that all students are familiar with the site
-* creating and/or updating your vet school's page on WikiVet
-* providing WikiVet with information on numbers of students at your school
-* creating a personal profile so that students at your school can find out a little bit more about you
-* encouraging staff and students to add content to the site and edit existing material
-* raising awareness amongst the academic faculty of WikiVet and encouraging them to recommend the site in lectures
-* feeding back to WikiVet any issues or suggestions for future development
-==Get Involved==
-WikiVet already has international ambassadors all over the world who help to promote WikiVet, and some of our student ambassadors have been involved for many years. However, the idea of being a student, is that one day (and it may seem a long way off at times) you graduate and need to pass on the baton to students in years below you. So we are now looking for student ambassadors (up to two from each school) from all over the world to help us spread the word.
-==Vet Nurses==
-We are also looking to get our nursing/vet tech members from around the world more involved, and have some exciting promotions and initiatives planned just for you. So if you are a student (or qualified) vet nurse and would like to find out more about how you can get involved, contact us at volunteers@wikivet.net.
-==What you get in return==
