Looking back on the first year of the Student Ambassador Program in Latin America
February 26th, 2013 | Published in Google Student Blog
The Google Student Ambassador Program saw exponential growth in 2012, with expansion to many new countries and regions.
One of the new regions for Google Student Ambassadors was Latin America. Nineteen students were selected from 11 universities across Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru to participate in our first-annual program. The selected students all attended our Google Student Ambassador Summit in Buenos Aires back in May 2012, where they were provided with interactive trainings on Google products and introduced to a robust network of Googlers and fellow Ambassadors.
While only a small group of students, their impact was truly enormous! In just seven short months, Ambassadors helped introduce Google Apps, Google+, Chrome and other Google products to their university communities.

Ambassadors were given the unique opportunity to be leaders amongst their peers on campus, and invaluable liaisons between Google and the university community. By the end of the 2012 program, all of the students had fostered strong bonds with one another and created close-knit communities on campus and beyond.
Now that the first year has come to a close, we’re excited to launch again in March 2013 with more students and another country represented (look out, Mexico!). Be sure to keep an eye out for the GSAs on your campus.
