Please provide their name, email, and some basic information about who they are. Campus Ambassadors pair up with participating instructors to teach students (on a face-to-face basis) how to edit Wikipedia. Prior Wikipedia-editing experience is not required for this role; we focus primarily on teaching abilities and general technological competency in selecting Campus Ambassadors. The Wikimedia Foundation will provide training for all Campus Ambassadors.
