Samsung Canada Welcomes 50 Students to Inaugural Galaxy Campus Crew

Samsung Electronics Canada has officially selected 50 student ambassadors to join its inaugural Galaxy Campus Crew, a new national program bringing together the next generation of Canadian creators and innovators to explore Galaxy technology, connect with like-minded peers and share their unique perspectives.

The announcement follows an overwhelming response, with more than 3,000 applications from post-secondary students across Canada, representing diverse interests spanning content creation, sports, travel, fashion, arts, gaming and more. Ontario accounted for more than half of all applications, followed by British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta. York University, the University of Toronto and Toronto Metropolitan University led submissions, followed by the University of British Columbia and Seneca Polytechnic.

“Canadian students have big ideas about what they want to create and achieve with technology, and the response to Galaxy Campus Crew shows their enthusiasm for opportunities to explore those ambitions,” said Tarik Akad, Vice President of Mobile at Samsung Electronics Canada. “We wanted to look beyond social media numbers to recognize students who bring genuine passion, creativity, and unique perspectives. We’re excited to see what this inaugural Crew creates, how they connect, and what we can learn from them along the way.”

Samsung selected its 50 ambassadors through a comprehensive evaluation process that looked beyond social media following, assessing applicants against equally weighted criteria including social presence and performance, brand fit and authenticity, program fit and commitment, and diversity and representation. The result is a Crew bringing together diverse backgrounds, interests and perspectives, united by a shared passion for creativity and innovation.

As members of the inaugural Galaxy Campus Crew, all 50 selected ambassadors will receive an exclusive welcome kit featuring the latest Galaxy products, giving them the opportunity to experience Samsung’s connected ecosystem firsthand.

Throughout the program, Crew members will also have access to activities and experiences designed to help them develop their creative skills, connect with fellow ambassadors across Canada and bring their ideas to life using Galaxy technology, while having the opportunity to unlock rewards along the way.

Beyond the rewards, Galaxy Campus Crew is designed to foster a two-way dialogue between Samsung and the next generation of Canadian creators, offering students a platform to share their perspectives while giving Samsung an opportunity to learn how technology shapes their everyday lives.
