Partnership, engagement, and recruitment within SBI adheres to a structured process determined by partnership status and feasibility for all career partners. Unfortunately, we cannot facilitate the scheduling or coordination of classroom visits, activities, or event requests for student ambassadors. Despite this limitation, student ambassadors have the autonomy to independently solicit, organize and host activities or events with their peers, relying solely on their own efforts. However, the use of on-campus space or catering must comply with university policies, processes, and procedures.

SBI has adopted the University’s policy on Employment of Related Persons as it relates to Internships for Academic Credit.

The best approach to access student organizations is through the designated Advisor for the organization. Student Organization Advisor information can be found at (https://famu.campuslabs.com/engage/). Traditionally, this information is available once an organization has been granted approval to function.
