Student Ambassador Program

PMPH Student Ambassadors serve in a dual role as both Community Ambassadors and Peer Mentors. As Community Ambassadors, they represent the PMPH community at special events and help foster connections among peers and within the broader Northeastern community. In their role as Peer Mentors, they provide support and guidance to first-year PreHealth students, helping them navigate their academic and professional journeys.

Student Ambassador roles run each academic term (Fall to Spring). Applications to become a Student Ambassador open August each year.

Community Engagement Component

Student Ambassadors contribute to building community by participating in PMPH events and activities such as:

• Annual Health Professions Conference
• Special Campus Events
• Student Panels and Mixers
• Tabling at Information Fairs/Welcome Days
• PreMed & PreHealth Presentations (requires additional training)

Peer Mentorship Component

As part of the Ambassador role, second-year students and above are paired with first-year PMPH students to provide peer mentorship.

• Mentorship runs for one academic year (Fall-Spring).
• Pairings will be made at the beginning of the Fall semester.
• A Fall mixer will give Boston-based pairs the opportunity to connect in person at the beginning of the semester.
• Mentorship may take place virtually or in-person, depending on campus location.
• Space is limited – participation is based on application.

The Student Ambassador Program is entirely voluntary, but meaningful participation is key. We ask that you only apply if you’re able to stay actively engaged and contribute as your schedule allows. Like many experiences, you’ll only get out of this program what you put in.

Student Ambassador positions and mentorship pairings run for one academic year (fall through spring). Applications to participate again or for the following academic year open each August. While formal pairings last for the academic year, mentors and mentees are welcome to stay in touch afterward at their own discretion. Please note that applying to the Student Ambassador program does not guarantee placement or mentorship pairing, as pairings are made based on the number of first-year students requesting mentors and program capacity.

Student Ambassador Application Process

• The application will allow you to share identifying information and list various opportunities for participation. The PMPH team will notify you after applications are reviewed and Student Ambassadors are selected for the academic year. We will then reach out regarding the peer mentoring component of the program and invite you to participate in events and activities as needed. This is an excellent chance to develop and enhance your core competencies.
• Applications for the Fall 2025-Spring 2026 academic year are now closed. Fall 2026- Spring 2027 applications will open August 2026!

The PMPH Student Ambassador Mentorship Program pairs second-year and above students with first-year PMPH students across Northeastern’s global campuses to provide peer mentorship and support.

• Mentorship runs for one academic year (Fall–Spring).

• Mentoring matches are made at the beginning of the Fall semester.

First-Year Students interested in being paired with a Student Ambassador Mentor:

• Fall 2025–Spring 2026 applications are now closed. If you are a first-year student interested in being paired with a Student Ambassador Mentor, please email PMPH@northeastern.edu. We’ll do our best to match you with a mentor for the remainder of the academic year, though we cannot guarantee placement.
• Applications for first-year mentees for the Fall 2026–Spring 2027 term will open in September 2026!

In close collaboration with the PMPH team, they’ve helped strengthen the program—especially its Peer Mentorship component—by offering thoughtful insights, fostering community, and supporting their peers every step of the way.
