My role as a Campus Ambassador is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Campus_Ambassadors
The specific course that I am CA to is this:

Basically, I go to a 2nd year graduate level course at Boston University
where I function as a Teaching Assistant. I introduced the students to
Wikipedia, including the principals of Wikipedia, how to edit, how to
create sandboxes, etc. I have been to the class three times (including
today) and assist the professor and students along the way.
As for me, I have been editing Wikipedia for *several* years. I have two
Good Articles to my credit and have experience in new page patrolling,
anti-vandalism, copy editing and other areas.
I would like to create a formal Boston/New England Wikimedia Chapter and
would be happy to do a bit of the legwork in getting it off the ground.
Who is interested?

I think many of us would like to hear about the ambassadorship program.
Maybe we could have a meetup with an agenda instead of a generic meet
and greet.
