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.

Samsung Canada today announced Galaxy Campus Crew, a new national community where post-secondary students can explore the latest technology and share how it elevates the university or college experience. Samsung is inviting students across Canada to apply for one of the inaugural spots in the program.

From studying and creating to connecting with friends and getting things done, Galaxy Campus Crew members will put the latest Galaxy technology to use across university and college life. Their firsthand experiences will offer Samsung valuable insight into the tools and features that matter most to today’s students.

As part of the program, each member will receive a Galaxy welcome kit featuring the latest Galaxy products. Throughout the program, Crew members will take part in activities designed to put Galaxy technology into action, with opportunities to unlock rewards along the way.

The program launches at a moment when AI is changing the university and college experience and reshaping how students prepare for their careers. Galaxy Campus Crew gives students the opportunity to use Galaxy devices as a tool to conquer school and their everyday lives.

“Students are already defining what the next era of technology will look like, not just through what they use, but how they use it”, said Tarik Akad, Vice President of Mobile at Samsung Electronics Canada. “Galaxy Campus Crew is a two-way exchange: students will have opportunities to explore, experiment, build new skills, and connect with peers, while Samsung will have the opportunity to listen and learn from how they use technology in their everyday lives. We’re excited to see where they take it.”

Samsung is looking for Canadian post-secondary students who are curious, creative and ready to bring their perspective to the Crew. The program welcomes students discovering Galaxy for the first time as well as existing users who want to go deeper and help others explore what the Galaxy ecosystem can offer.

Students new to Galaxy can also explore the Try Galaxy experience from their current smartphone to get a taste of the Galaxy ecosystem. When they’re ready to make the move, Smart Switch [1]helps bring photos, messages, apps, settings and more to their new Galaxy device.

Applications are now open and close November 2, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Students can learn more and apply at www.samsung.com/ca/galaxycampuscrew.
