Global Student Ambassadors

Four members of the Global Student Ambassador team 2024-2025

The Global Student Ambassadors (GSA) are a group of students who plan programs and events throughout the year to connect the global community on campus. These students are dedicated to creating fun, educational, and memorable moments for our community outside of the classroom. Through their programs and events, they seek to foster connections and help their fellow students develop an international scope to their academic experience. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, stop by CLS and meet them in person. They’re here for you.

Make your voice heard!

We understand our team does not represent all cultures! If you are interested in seeing more representation on our campus and want to work with us to plan a cultural event/program feel free to email us at gsa@highline.edu. We want to ensure all students have an opportunity to share their voices and we look forward to working with you.

Learn more about our annual Global Fest

Global Fest typically takes place in the spring, and we warmly welcome students and community members to host booths that educate others about their culture. We also encourage community members to sign up for stage performances to showcase cultural dances, songs, or other unique traditions. We are eager to hear your ideas on how you would like to represent your culture.

 

What’s it like being a Global Student Ambassador?

“GSA gave me the platform to integrate my identity into my work” 

– Muna Ali, GSA 23-24

“Being a part of GSA makes me happy because the team members support one another generally and receive full motivation from the supervisor in particular. That positive environment helps me to improve my abilities and experiences”

– Linh Nguyen, GSA 23-24

“This job requires constant creativity and adaptability. However seeing an event where people learn something, have fun and laugh makes the work satisfying. By being a part of GSA I learned a lot about different cultures norms and values” 

– Barok Yonnes Hailegiorgis, GSA 23-24
