As we celebrate our diamond anniversary, the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University truly appreciates your continued support.
While we’ve been around 75 years, we suspect that you haven’t been working with our archive that entire time; but you are one of the most important links between the data we curate in Roper iPoll and the library patrons who access it.
For a long time, we have referred to our campus contacts as “member representatives;” those serving as a conduit for information exchange between the users of the database and the Center itself. More than that, many of you train the users and champion the database to your patrons.
The time has come for us to formally recognize this community of representatives through the Roper Ambassador program.
A Roper Ambassador can claim professional development and earn Roper Center certification to officially proclaim what we’ve known all along—you’re the go-to person for public opinion data and Roper iPoll.
