Why Student When You Can Genius?
If you have the vision, Genius can help you make it happen. We want each of our Student Ambassadors to follow their own passions and build their own communities. Rap head? Find like-minded music critics on campus, annotate songs, organize a Genius Battle or concert! Lit geek? Annotate the classics with peers, publish your scholarship on site, plan a reading with your school’s professors and writers. Newshound? Rally your political group around annotating political debates ahead of the 2016 elections. Some of you might focus on teacher outreach, some might organize ongoing clubs or one-off events. Maybe your Genius club is a film society, maybe it’s a history meetup. Perhaps soccer is your thing, or is it fashion? No matter what your interest, it's all Genius, so let’s do it.
