Student Ambassador Resource

The Student Ambassador Resource is an initiative to foster increased connectivity, collaboration, and mentorship between diplomacy students, prospective students, and student ambassadors. Diplomacy Students are encouraged to use this resource to connect with the ambassadors who share their interests and career goals in order to learn more about their experiences. This collaboration encourages a welcoming culture at the School of Diplomacy that promotes success both inside and outside the classroom as well as fosters a sense of community not only between current students but the students of the future.
