We're looking for a University Student in Canada
Are you currently enrolled in a computer science or engineering program at a university in Canada? We're looking for volunteers to help co-ordinate events that we are planning at universities across Canada. The ideal candidate should have the following qualifications:
- Is an active member of student population with strong communication skills

- Proven experience and ability to create, maintain, and manage a blog
- Demonstrates good time management skills and ability to work independently
- Experience in planning and managing events is highly desirable
- Organizing student events that are open to all students and members of the faculty. The purpose of each event would be to educate and provide information to the attendees on Adobe’s current and emerging technologies. A budget will be provided to pay for costs associated with the event. One event per study term is expected, and the Ambassador will be responsible for all stages of planning and managing the event with collaboration from the Adobe Enterprise and Developer team.
- The Ambassador will be given opportunities to present at the planned events, sometimes in conjunction with Adobe technical evangelists.
- Become an Ambassador for Adobe’s products within the student body and provide valued feedback to the Adobe on how students and faculty use their technology in studies, and the user experience of using Adobe technology.
- The Ambassador will work closely with the school’s student organization and be responsible for preparing and aid in advertising for any Adobe on-campus events.
- The Adobe Ambassador will be the conduit of information between the university’s student population and Adobe. Regular on-going communication and feedback on the program in general is expected.
- The Adobe Ambassador will maintain a blog, and will publish information on Adobe technologies, news and articles, information regarding upcoming events, and more.
The positions are currently open and available to students at the following universities in Canada. They are not available at any other university. We'll be expanding the program in the future, but we're limiting it to the following schools: University of British Columbia, Simon Frasier University, BC Institute of Technology (BCIT), University of Western Ontario, Waterloo University, University of Ottawa, Queen's University, University of Toronto, McMaster University and McGill University.

It's University of Waterloo ;) and I will pass this note along... Sounds like a cool position for a student.
It's University of Ottawa, and we (as in the Computer Club) will pass this note along. Hopefully some young talent will become our next Adobe Rep.
Hi Mike
I do the same thing a month or so here in Brazil in University and colleges to Comp. Sci Students.
So, maybe I could be called aka "Ambassor".
So please if you wish contact me, I was talking with Miss Ellen Wagner while she was at Brazil with Silke Fleischer (Captivate Product Manager).
Regards.
I am from the University of Waterloo as well. This looks really interesting!
But since I am from Vancouver, I'll have to also point out that "Simon Fraser University" is also spelled incorrectly in your post.
[I need to install that spell checking plugin I guess. :) - Mike]
