Student Ambassador Program
Help Promote MIT as an Ambassador

Student Ambassadors are a small group of student volunteers dedicated to the positive promotion of MIT. They are visible at many campus events and serve as liaisons between current MIT students and two other important groups: alumni and prospective students. Both groups are very interested in hearing student perspectives on life at MIT. Typical roles include mingling, hosting a table of MIT guests, providing tours, and speaking about the MIT student experience or student research.
The Student Ambassadors, an ASA-recognized group sponsored by the MIT Alumni Association, have the opportunity to interact with campus VIPs and alumni who may become valuable career contacts. Ambassadors also have the chance to develop and receive training in communication, public relations, and interpersonal skills.
Apply to join Student Ambassadors
Each September, the Association searches for responsible, enthusiastic students who enjoy meeting new people. Ambassadors should be able to start conversations easily, handle several tasks at once, work under pressure, and function as good citizens of the MIT community.
Seeking help from the Ambassadors
If you are an MIT office interested in involving the Student Ambassadors in one of your programs, or if you have questions about the MIT Student Ambassadors, please contact their MIT Alumni Association advisor, Beth Nakamura.
