Global Ambassador Program

What is a global ambassador

The Global Ambassador Program invites international students and scholars to join a diverse group of individuals in sharing their experiences with others at CMU and in the Mount Pleasant community.

As a global ambassador, you'll have the chance to make a meaningful impact when you share your story and make new connections through speaking events, presentations and cultural activities.

The program has several goals:

  • Teach people about difference countries and cultures.
  • Help people from different backgrounds learn from each other.
  • Support international students and scholars in our community.
  • Show that CMU cares about welcoming everyone and supporting students.

The program connects people and fosters a welcoming community. It is a great chance to share your culture, meet new people and grow as a leader!
