Your Main Goal
The biggest way you can help this year is to bring Toucan to your campus through a presentation to your Pre-PT club or another relevant student organization.
You have two options:
Give the presentation yourself using a Toucan presentation deck we provide.
Schedule the presentation and have Toucan join virtually to present to your group.
Once you have a presentation scheduled, let us know!
Presentation Perk 🦜
After scheduling your presentation, you can choose a custom Toucan Ambassador merch item:
Tank top
Quarter-zip/Hoodie/Sweatshirt
Cap
Make an Impact Throughout the Year
The presentation is the main goal, but there are plenty of other ways to help Toucan reach more Pre-PT students.
Some ideas:
Refer individual students to Toucan
Set up additional club or class presentations
Get Toucan featured in club emails, newsletters, group chats, or social media
Get Toucan listed on your university's study abroad or opportunities website
Help create a university partnership or school-specific Toucan program
Get Toucan involved in a relevant campus event or fair
Share Toucan flyers, program launches, scholarships, or registration announcements
Find another creative way to get Toucan in front of Pre-PT students
You know your campus best. These are ideas, not a checklist.
We'll provide the flyers, graphics, presentation materials, program information, and other resources you need along the way.
Keep Track of Your Impact
From now through the spring semester, keep screenshots, links, photos, or other examples of the things you help make happen.
In April 2027, you'll have the opportunity to submit your impact from throughout the year for our Ambassador Awards.
