This year, OEP welcomed our first class of student Ambassadors. The Prepared Dawgs Ambassadors is a select group of students chosen to promote, organize, and participate in campus emergency preparedness activities and act as student liaisons for the Office of Emergency Preparedness. The Ambassadors meet monthly to learn about various aspects of emergency preparedness and receive short talking points that they can share with their friends, classmates, and student organizations they are involved with.
This year’s Ambassadors assisted with OEP’s National Preparedness Month event at Tate Plaza and promoted the Fall Academic Professional Security Series Lecture. They also shared emergency preparedness information with participants during Parking Services Operation Safe Drive in November. They have provided our office with many opportunities to share preparedness information with student groups on campus that we normally would not be able to reach. Applications for the 2017-2018 Prepared Dawgs Ambassador program will open March 1, 2017 and conclude March 31, 2017. If you know of a student who is interested in serving as an OEP Ambassador, they can watch our website for the application or contact Noelle Broadnax, broadnax@uga.edu, for more information. |
