GHS2026 Student Ambassador Program

 

The Student Ambassador Program at Global Health Security Conference 2026 aims to provide students with a unique opportunity to actively contribute to the success of the event and gain valuable experiences in the global health security field.

Our Ideal Student Ambassador

Our ideal Student Ambassadors are individuals who are passionate about global health and have a strong desire to work in an area or field of global health that is focused on infectious disease prevention and control. They are individuals that exhibit professional behaviour with a friendly and welcoming demeanour, as they are not only ambassadors for our conference but also for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur and their universities. The position is unpaid (i.e. voluntary).

Roles and Responsibilities:

Student Ambassadors will primarily be responsible for assisting keynote speakers with on-site arrangements and requests. Key responsibilities include:

    • Meeting and accompanying their designated keynote speaker to and from the airport to the speaker’s hotel.
    • Ensuring their designated keynote speaker reaches their speaking engagements and other relevant business meetings promptly.
    • Providing keynote speakers with the full registration bag and assisting them in navigating various meetings and venues during the event.

In short, Student Ambassadors serve as a type of personal assistant to their designated keynote speaker throughout their stay in Kuala Lumpur, assisting with enquiries, ensuring the speakers meet their respective commitments, and helping to ensure the keynote speakers have an enjoyable and relatively stress-free visit to Kuala Lumpur.

When Student Ambassadors are not assisting their designated keynote speaker, they may support the conference operations team, including assisting at the registration desk or helping with general event logistics. During these times, they are also welcome to attend and observe conference sessions. 

Benefits for Student Ambassadors:

Participating students will have the opportunity to:

    • Develop leadership and communication skills.
    • Gain knowledge and insights into global health policy and practice.
    • Interact and collaborate with prominent global health leaders.
    • Unlock potential job opportunities.

Leadership Position:

For the leader position within the Student Ambassador Program:

    • Encouraging student participation.
    • Reviewing student submissions and ensuring proper allocation based on preferences.
    • Handling occasional ad-hoc tasks to keep selected students engaged.

Guidelines for Student Ambassadors:

    • Maintain a high degree of professionalism in all interactions with keynote speakers.
    • Punctuality is crucial for all events and activities.
    • Assist with logistical and practical arrangements related to the conference, but refrain from running personal errands for keynote speakers.
    • If uncertain about fulfilling a logistical request, contact GHS organisers.
    • Conduct background research on the keynote speaker and their topics for GHS2026.
    • Provide immediate notice to GHS organisers if unable to attend or encountering any issues/concerns.

Communication:

Regular communication is essential. Student Ambassadors are encouraged to:

    • Stay in touch with GHS organisers for updates and guidance.
    • Report issues or concerns promptly to ensure effective resolution.

Code of Conduct:

Always adhere to the highest standards of professional behaviour, respecting the privacy and boundaries of keynote speakers. Assist with all requests of a professional nature to facilitate keynote speakers’ full participation in the conference.

Under no circumstances may Student Ambassadors engage in any activity or practice that may compromise their personal or professional integrity, or bring the conference into disrepute (i.e. entering a keynote speaker’s hotel room, etc). Any behaviour that places either themselves or the reputation of the conference at risk will result in immediate dismissal.

Conclusion:

The success of the Student Ambassador Program relies on the commitment and professionalism of its participants. By fulfilling their roles diligently, students will contribute significantly to the overall success of the Global Health Security 2026 conference while also gaining a unique opportunity to interact with some of the world’s most eminent global public health leaders.
