Orientation- All registered candidates attend Orientation, where they receive resources to help them prepare/improve their cover letter, speech and resume for judging. The guidance provided through out their candidacy parallels lesson plans offered through popular high school College & Career Exploration courses.
Candidates will be asked to fill out some additional paperwork and sign-up for their individual interview with the judges. Parents, family, and friends wanting to learn more about the program are encouraged to come to orientation with our registered Candidates.
Workshops- Candidates are assigned regularly scheduled homework to coincide with the specially designed, hands-on workshops. These workshops will familiarize the candidates with the vocabulary, questions, and expectations of college professionals. During these workshops, candidates will also meet Princeton business owners and program sponsors face to face.
Shadowing- Candidates shadow current Ambassadors as they volunteer outside, host an Dinner/Awards, hand out Mother’s Day Flowers in senior living facilities, and participate in Zimmerman’s Wild West Days Parade.
Interviews with Selection Panel- Interviews are completed towards the end of the candidate experience and NOT during the actual coronation event. The Selection Panel will interview each candidate and observe them at events. A candidate’s attendance record and homework assignments will also be taken into consideration.
Coronation- 2026 Coronation will be held on Sunday, May 31st at the Princeton High School Performing Arts Center. There is a mandatory rehearsal the morning of the Coronation. The Coronation is a formal event to celebrate the out-going ambassadors, candidates, visiting representatives, the presentation of scholarships, and the local community at large as we kick off the Rum River Festival week.
