Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Christenson and I am the Director of BST Ambassadors. This course is designed to develop student ambassadors' skills in leadership and advocacy, enabling them to become effective representatives of the Biomedical Science and Technology Academy (BST) and the community. Through a combination of project-based curriculum, hands-on activities grounded in leadership and advocacy, and guest speakers, students will learn how to communicate effectively, build relationships, and advocate for topics and activities that embody the mission and vision of the BST Academy. 

Students will explore the key principles of leadership, such as goal-setting, problem-solving, and decision-making. They will also examine the characteristics of effective advocacy, including the importance of building alliances, conducting research, and using social media. The course will include opportunities for students to plan and organize events, work on community service projects, and collaborate with school administrators and local organizations. Students will learn how to promote the BST student culture, programs, and events to prospective students, families, and the broader community. 

Overall, this course will equip student ambassadors with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to become effective leaders and advocates for their school and community!
