Praise for Student Ambassadors 2010-2011
"The Ambassadors from Exeter University were outstanding as usual.
It is always such a pleasure to have people here enthusing about what they do.
Thank you so much for the help on the day and it was rated as “the best yet”, so that can’t be bad."
Torquay Boys Grammar School, July 2011.
"Many thanks for arranging your 3 students yesterday. They were extremely nice young people and had large audiences throughout the 5 sessions. They earned their lunches!!"
Richard Huish College, June 2011.
"Thank you very much for this morning. It was excellent. I have now spoken to two of the Lower Sixth Tutors who saw their students at 3.15, both say that the students believe they gained a great deal from the session and that they have helped with their decision making and applications.
Please thank Dale, Rachel and Tzuki who were first class. Their contribution helped tremendously because it was from the point of view of current students so seemed so much more relevant than coming from 'old timers' like their tutors or me."
West Buckland School, June 2011.
"The student ambassadors were excellent and there have certainly been some useful conversations going on since our return."
Sixth Form Administrator/KS5 Pastoral Support, Wadebridge School, June 2011.
"Would you please pass on our thanks to Dale and Jennifer for coming in to talk to our Year 13 yesterday? From feedback it was a very good presentation which passed on a lot of useful information and a good discussion followed. So thank you very much once again. We really do appreciate it."
Colyton Grammar School, May 2011.
"I also wanted to take the opportunity to say how helpful, friendly and polite the Student Ambassadors were. There were two or three young men who were monitoring the seminar rooms and they did a fantastic job and really stood out. The Ambassadors in the main arena area couldn't have been more helpful either. They are a real credit to the University."
Exhibitor, EXETER UCAS Convention, March 2011.
"The students got a huge amount out of the experience and have been very motivated by it. Thank you for organising it all and also to the Student Ambassadors for their input and enthusiasm”.
Somerset in Care, March 2011.
"All ambassadors turned up on time and were inspiring. What marvellous young people. Thank- you so much for an invaluable contribution."
Colyton Grammar School, March 2011.
"Please pass on my thanks to the two Ambassadors who did a superb job delivering a slick presentation to our students."
The King's School, March 2011.
"Thank you so much for your input to this day– we couldn’t have run it without you! The students will have gone home with lots of information and options to think about as well as having had some fun. I know they will all use some of what they have learnt, in some way, as they make plans for the next few years of their lives."
Leader of Post 16 Entitlement, South Dartmoor Community College, March 2011.
"Please pass on my thanks to your efficient young student ambassadors, for their help at the careers evening."
St. Margaret's School, February 2011.
"They were well-prepared, engaging & worked professionally with both students and staff alike. They really were terrific ambassadors for Exeter University and sent out exactly the impression you would have wanted them to. This day is a really valuable exercise and I really hope that we can work together again on an identical event next year!"
Colyton Grammar School, February 2011.
"The two girls were fantastic, very enthusiastic and they went down very well with the pupils. I would certainly recommend the service to other schools and hope that you will run it again in the future."
Gillingham School, February 2011.
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your time and expertise at our Careers Event last Friday. We have had lots of positive comments from students and staff about the day and without you and your other colleagues from Exeter University we would not have been able to put on such a successful afternoon."
Bryanston School, February 2011.
"Please can I thank you so much for letting us have the pleasure of working with Faye, she has been absolutely excellent and was thrown in the deep end from the word go not intentionally, but the students from Plymouth didn’t come so she rose to the challenge and launched in with 6 dragon’s den activities."
Teignmouth Community College, January 2011.
"I would like to thank you both on behalf of the College of Social Sciences for supporting the INTO event yesterday. The event is hailed a success and that would most surely not have been possible without your contribution."
Lilian Bunni, Admissions and Student Centre Administrator, College of Social Sciences and International Studies, December 2010.
"Thanks very much for the great day we had at Exeter and for the presentations.
Our students were very postive about the day and were buzzing on the way home.
Please would you pass on my thanks to Jo and the student ambassadors. The information from Jo and yourself was very clear and relevant and the student talk was the best we have ever had: the young people we met are certainly great ambassadors for the university."
Director of Studies:Post 16, Treviglas Community College, October 2010.
"A huge thank you to your team for your input today with Year 11. I hope that you can help us out again in the future."
Assistant Headteacher, Notre Dame RC School, October 2010
"Just a ‘thank you’ for getting together such fantastic ambassadors for the Alumni Reunion. It really is a special part of the weekend for alumni, and the bit that makes it so is having current students to share their experiences with, so thank you for making this possible."
Ashley Petrons, Alumni Networks and Groups Officer, September 2010
"Thank you so much for my tour of Exeter University yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was blown away by the beauty of the campus. Elizabeth Morning was the young lady I believe who took me round, and she was brilliant, so thanks again to her! I can understand why it it is such a popular University to aim to get into, and have been asked by most of my boarding house for my opinion of Exeter!"
Campus tour visitor, September 2010
