Basic certification for ambassadors
Ambassadors also have the basic option of earning a certificate from the Graduate & Professional School, signified by a digital badge. To earn a digital badge, ambassadors must:
- Meet the required number of blogs (6) per semester.

- Try to keep submissions between 350-800 words in length.
