Anyone can be a Giving Day ambassador. It’s the perfect role if you want to do a little extra to show your support for UWaterloo this Giving Day.
What’s involved? Ambassadors use social media, email and word of mouth to tell people about Giving Day, and we’ve made it easy with sample messages in the toolkit below. If you’d like, you can add a personal spin and make them your own.
Your efforts to spread awareness for Giving Day can make a huge impact on teaching, learning and research at UWaterloo.
Thank you for your support!
