Google Student Ambassadors In mid-May, the Google Buenos Aires office hosted 21 university students selected as 2012-2013 Google Student Ambassadors for the first-ever Latin America Ambassador Summit. The students represent 12 universities across 4 countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Ambassadors traveled from far and wide, some even leaving their home countries for the first time, to make their way to the Google office in Puerto Madero, right in the heart of Buenos Aires. The two-day summit provided Ambassadors with knowledge and resources necessary to hit campus with a bang in first year of the program in Latin America. The Google Student Ambassador Program is an opportunity for students to serve as liaisons between Google and their universities. We hope that bringing these students together helped them to learn more about Google's tools and programs and build lasting relationships with Googlers and fellow Ambassadors.
