Members will be given the option to pursue leadership opportunities and become eligible to apply for a paid University Ambassador position after one semester of participation in the Billiken Buddy program.

There will be informational meetings Tuesday, November 17 at both 4 and 7 PM. It is only necessary to be in attendance at one meeting. Applications will be available for Spring positions. Further questions should be directed to Vince Penna, at vpenna@slu.edu.
