(VALLEJO, CA 鈥� November 21, 2014) 鈥� Cal Maritime's cadets are representative of what
the University stands for and what makes it unique. Now, a select group of students
are being given an opportunity to represent the school in a whole new way.
The new Cadet Ambassador Program provides students with an opportunity to develop
their leadership skills through interactions with industry, alumni, donors, and elected
officials. The program encompasses, donor visits, travel, the beginnings of a new
student alumni program, volunteerism, event participation and the opportunity for
meeting and networking with executives in the maritime and related industries.
"Our students will have an opportunity for mentoring and experience in executive-level
interactions that lead to networking and the development of necessary communication
skills," said Vice President for University Advancement Beverly Byl. "In many cases,
these experiences will enhance their r茅sum茅s and provide direct professional opportunities."
The program has a core group of 30 cadets, plus five freshman apprentices who are
identified at the start of their second semester on campus. Participants in the program
will receive campus stewardship and community service credit.
