Assisting with prospective student outreach by meeting with students and their families, both in-person and virtually, to lead tours of the Food Science Department facilities and share personal experiences related to academics, student involvement, undergraduate research, internships, product development, sensory evaluation, Food Science Club activities, and other opportunities within the program.

Supporting the department's social media and digital recruitment efforts through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and related channels. Students should have an interest in content creation, photography, videography, storytelling, interviewing, and highlighting experiences within the department for recruitment and promotional purposes.

Assisting with additional recruitment, outreach, and student engagement initiatives as needed. This position may occasionally require travel to off-site locations or events. Students selected for the role must maintain a professional and positive representation of the Food Science Department and the University.

*Academic success, personal well-being, and health will always remain the priority for students serving in this role, and flexibility will be provided whenever possible to support those needs. At the same time, recruitment and outreach remain strategic priorities within the Food Science Department, and students selected for this position are expected to communicate professionally and make their best effort to honor scheduled commitments, events, and responsibilities associated with the role.
