How might I connect summer school and short-term students with ambassadors?

🧭 Before Arrival

• Invite students to explore your TAP Feed
  Let them browse ambassador content and ask questions ahead of arrival.

• Create a Group Chat
  Connect prospects with ambassadors to ease pre-programme nerves and build early rapport.

📌 Example: Kingston University’s Head Start programme uses ambassador content to prepare short-term students.

🎉 During Welcome

• Buddy students with ambassadors
  Use the Link button in the dashboard (Ambassadors > Manage) to share direct ambassador profiles via email.

• Run welcome events via Streams
  Host presentations, info sessions, or taster lectures with academic staff.

• Encourage mentoring
  Ambassadors can check in regularly and act as informal mentors throughout the programme.

🎮 During the Programme

• Human Bingo
  Use ambassador Q&A as a fun icebreaker — offer small prizes to boost participation.

• Conversation starters
  Email prompts to help younger students feel confident initiating chats.

• Team projects
  Pair ambassadors and prospects in teams to work on a shared challenge using Group Chats.

• Scheduled TAP time
  Add 15-minute daily blocks to the itinerary for chatting with ambassadors — setting clear expectations from Day 1.

📌 Example: Downing College used TAP to connect students before, during, and after their online residential.

🔁 After Departure

• Host a follow-up Live Stream
  Recap the experience, share photos/videos, and highlight next steps or application deadlines.

• Stay in touch
  Track student progress — if they apply for further study, consider recruiting them as future ambassadors.
