Serve as a UWL Ambassador

UWL Faculty or Staff Traveling Abroad?

UWL has partner institutions across the globe. If you are traveling near a partner and are willing, we might ask you to connect with a partner whilst abroad.

If you are traveling on a university-sponsored trip, IEE may be reaching out to you to see if you are interested in participating if we have a partner in the area.
If you are traveling for personal reasons and/or on a different funding source, we hope that you will reach out to IEE and we may be able to connect you with a partner.

What does it mean to be an ambassador?

If UWL has a partner in the area with whom we’d like for you to connect, we would help create the contact and connection. We might ask you to take some promotional materials and we’d make sure you were up-to-date on potential UWL aspects of importance.
We would ask for you to meet the contact abroad and discuss issues of importance to the partner. Likely topics might include:
- New programs at UWL
- UWL culture and experience
- La Crosse, WI as a region
- UWL’s academic profile
If a partner connection is an option, UWL would:
- Pay for the travel associated with the connection once you are abroad (e.g., one day per diem for lodging and food, within country travel such as train ticket).
- Provide a $100 in professional development funds as an acknowledgement for your work representing UWL.
