STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
|
Join us for our inaugural TTAN Student Ambassador program!
Have you always had a passion to promote theatre education? We would love to have you for our FIRST-EVER Student Ambassador Program! What is a TTAN Student Ambassador and who can be a TTAN Student Ambassador? The Texas Thespians Advocacy Network (TTAN) Board empowers administrators, educators, and students to serve as ambassadors to promote public awareness of the value and impact of Theatre Education. The role of the Texas Thespians Student Ambassadors is to empower student voices to advocate and promote Texas Theatre education! Any freshman, sophomore or junior who is an inducted Thespian and is in good standing with his/her troupe may apply. The student must be prepared to work hard for their fellow Texas Thespians. Only one student per school may run for TTAN Student Ambassador. How do I become a Student Ambassador? Candidates interested in applying should complete an application and submit the required documents to demonstrate their passion for advocacy in Theatre Education.
