2012年，北卡罗来纳州州立大学在全校范围内启动了一项语言多样性计划，“教育受教育者”，其目标是让校园社区了解语言是多样性的关键因素，并增加对语言和方言差异的一般知识。该计划自推出以来，在过去几年中取得了成功的发展，这在很大程度上要归功于该计划学生大使的领导努力。学生大使参与校园同伴教育，寻找机会参与校园和当地社区，并与现有组织建立校园伙伴关系，以加强语言多样性的包容性教育工作。这些学生大使中的大多数是语言学硕士课程的研究生。在本文中，我们讨论了学生大使的重要性，以他们的贡献和计划目标的进步，以计划的成功。我们还强调了研究生在校园中参与的重要性，从研究生参与的高等教育研究文献中汲取，以及它在学术和专业发展中所发挥的关键作用。
In 2012, North Carolina State University launched a campus-wide linguistic diversity program, “Educating the Educated,” with a goal of engaging the campus community about language as a key element of diversity and increasing general knowledge of language and dialect differences. The program has successfully grown over the past several years since its launch, in large part due to the leadership efforts of the program’s student ambassadors. Student ambassadors are involved in peer education on campus, seek out opportunities to engage the campus and local communities, and develop partnerships on campus with existing organizations to enhance diversity education efforts with the inclusion of language diversity. A majority of these student ambassadors are graduate students in the linguistics Masters program. In this paper, we discuss the importance of the student ambassadors to the success of the program in terms of their contributions and advancement of program objectives. We also highlight the importance of graduate students being engaged on their campus, drawing from higher education research literature on graduate student engagement and the critical role it plays in academic and professional development.
