As part of our commitment to empower the African academic community with knowledge, infrastructure and tools to help Africa’s future leaders make the most of access to information, we are delighted to have launched the Google Student Ambassador Program in Ghana and Nigeria. The program invites students enrolled in African Universities to represent Google on campus and serve a tenure of one academic year.

This year, we selected 20 Ambassadors from 5 universities in Ghana. In mid-March, we invited all new Ambassadors to our Google Ambassador Welcome Day, held in Accra. The day was a mix of fun team building activities and training on various Google products and tools. Our 2011 Ghana Ambassadors were selected from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, University of Ghana (Legon & Business School), University of Cape Coast, Ashesi University and Central University College.


We also selected 27 Ambassadors from 8 universities in Nigeria. and a similar Welcome Day was held in Lagos to introduce Ambassadors to the program. Our Nigeria Ambassadors were selected from University of Lagos, University of Benin, University of Nigeria, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan, Bayero University, Covenant University and Benson Idahosa University.

The new Ambassadors revealed a sound familiarity with technology, an array of vibrant personalities and ready to make significant impact in their respective campuses.

These Student Ambassadors will work closely with Google teams to organise events and help raise awareness among African Students about the opportunities and value of Google and the Internet.

Lancement du programme Étudiant Ambassadeur Google au Nigéria et au Ghana

Dans le cadre de notre engagement à apporter des outils, une infrastructure et des
connaissances à la communauté universitaire africaine afin d’aider les futurs leaders de
l’Afrique à tirer le meilleur parti de l’accès à l’information, nous sommes heureux d’annoncer
le lancement de notre Programme Étudiant Ambassadeur au Nigéria et au Ghana. Ce
programme invite des étudiants inscrits dans des universités africaines à représenter Google
sur leur campus et les titularise pour une année académique.

Cette année, nous avons sélectionné 20 étudiants dans cinq universités au Ghana. Mi-
mars, nous avons reçu tous les nouveaux Ambassadeurs pour notre Journée d’accueil des
Ambassadeurs Google à Accra, qui propose un ensemble de formations sur les différents
produits et outils Google et des activités de team-building. Nos ambassadeurs ghanéens
2011 sont issus de l’Université des sciences et des technologies Kwame Nkrumah, de
l’Université du Ghana (Legon & Business School), de l’Université de Cape Coast, de l’Ashesi
University
et du Central University College.

Nous avons également sélectionné 27 étudiants dans huit universités du Nigéria et
une journée d’accueil similaire a eu lieu à Lagos pour présenter le programme aux
Ambassadeurs. Nos Ambassadeurs nigériens viennent de l’Université de Lagos, l’Université
du Bénin
, l’Université du Nigéria, l’Obafemi Awolowo University, l’Université d’Ibadan, la
Bayero University, la Covenant University et la Benson Idahosa University.

Les nouveaux Ambassadeurs, qui forment un groupe de personnalités dynamiques, ont
fait preuve d’une excellente connaissance de la technologie et souhaitent avoir un impact
significatif sur leurs campus.

Ils travaillent en étroite collaboration avec les équipes de Google pour organiser des
événements et contribuer à sensibiliser les étudiants africains aux opportunités et à la valeur
de Google et d’Internet.
