The Working At UD Ambassador Network is a group of faculty and staff who volunteer as peer-to-peer champions in their local units. Ambassadors are passionate about employee engagement and help build a culture of wellbeing at UD through advocacy and promotion of Working At UD initiatives across campus.

Working At UD Ambassadors will:

  • Attend two ambassador meetings per year (Fall and Spring), or assign a delegate replacement​
  • Promote #WorkingAtUD programs, events and initiatives to their colleagues using the resources provided in the monthly Ambassador Newsletter​
  • Advocate for strategies that support positive engagement and wellbeing for their colleagues

The goals of the Working At UD Ambassador Network are to:

  • Foster collaboration by connecting with the interests of faculty and staff and communicating relevant resources and services​
  • Contribute to the ongoing growth of a thriving culture of engagement from a New Hen to a Blue Hen​
