Representing Excellence in Engineering
Engineering Ambassadors are the proud face of the College of Engineering, serving as key representatives to future students, parents, the university community, and esteemed guests. This select group of students, drawn from all engineering disciplines within the college, plays a vital role in outreach and recruitment activities. Ambassadors actively engage with prospective students through campus tours, high school visits, and informational sessions, providing an accurate and inspiring portrayal of the expansive opportunities in engineering.
Their mission is to demystify engineering, offering insight into what each field entails and showcasing the exciting possibilities that a career in engineering holds. Beyond recruitment, Engineering Ambassadors serve as advocates and leaders, volunteering their time to build connections, foster engagement, and represent the college at key events. By sharing their experiences and passion for their disciplines, they not only inform but also inspire the next generation of engineers, reinforcing the college’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
Engineering Ambassadors Network
Our Engineering Ambassadors are part of a prestigious national network of engineering ambassador programs. This network provides invaluable training and resources, equipping our ambassadors with the skills they need to excel as leaders and communicators. Through workshops, conferences, and collaborative opportunities, ambassadors develop the confidence and expertise to effectively engage expansive audiences, represent the college with professionalism, and inspire future engineers. This national support ensures that our ambassadors continue to grow as individuals and leaders, making a lasting impact on our college and the broader engineering community.
