Campus Champions
What is a Campus Champion?
AFA Campus Champions play a vital role in connecting students on campus with AFA. From promotion of AFA programs and opportunities to providing travel support to students attending AFA programs, AFA Campus Champions are an essential resource to AFA and the students we serve. Campus Champions do not have to attend AFA programming - although there are opportunities to do so - and there can be more than 1 Campus Champion at your campus; Providing support on-campus is invaluable to the AFA mission.
How Campus Champions Can Provide Support:
Serve as point of contact between AFA staff, AFA student leader(s) (when applicable) and additional campus contacts. Please make sure you are subscribed to receive AFA’s Collegiate emails.
Promote AFA opportunities to students via email, and within classes, clubs and organizations using AFA's Promotional Toolkits.
Assist students in the application process by proofreading essays as needed.
Advocate for university travel funds to assist with the cost to Leaders Conference and/or Institutes as needed. This may include coordinating reimbursement of any university funds.
Attend or host pre-program meetings for selected students to AFA programs to help prepare and coordinate travel.
Attend Leaders Conference as a Campus Champion to get a first-hand look at programing, meet other Campus Champions, and learn more about AFA and what the future holds.
Follow up with students after Conference and/or Institutes to learn about their experiences and identify ways in which the campus can best help students utilize the skills they gained through the experience.
Assist in setting up post-experience debrief meetings with the dean and other administrators who encourage students to apply for AFA programs.
If your campus has an AFA student leader, meet with that student to discuss their goals and provide support in their promotional efforts.
Help identify students who would serve well as an AFA student leader, and nominate them for this position.
