University Ambassadors / International Ambassadors
Academic staff who are Society members can opt to be an Ambassador at their University. Little time is required, as you will be kept updated with news of membership, events, and activities so you can keep your students updated and extol the benefits of being a Society member. One University ambassador per university is the norm.
We are also keen to hear from International Academic Members who may be keen to take on this role in their University. For more information about the role, please see the 'Role Description' at the foot of the page or send an email to [email protected].

Student University Ambassadors / International Student University Ambassadors
Students can volunteer to act as Student University Ambassadors. Ideally, you should have at least two years of your course left, to help with continuity. The role requires little of your time, but means you can keep up to date with all that is going on at the Society and can pass this on to other students.
Why volunteer? You will gain useful transferrable skills to add to your CV and be able to connect with other students across the country, and with the Student Section, helping to raise your profile.
We are also keen to hear from International Student Members who may be keen to take on this role in their University. For more information about the role, please see the 'Role Description' at the foot of the page.

Student Ambassador Testimonals
Since becoming a Student University Ambassador for the Nutrition Society in May 2022, I have become more informed about the events and opportunities that the Society offers. The Nutrition Society Academy (NSA) webinars, and the career support, for example, have been very helpful for developing soft skills alongside other skills I gain while doing my PhD work. In turn, I enjoy talking with students and staff at the University of East Anglia (UEA) as well as the Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB) about the programmes and events that the Society offers. This has borne fruit since many of those I have spoken with subsequently signed up for a Society membership.
