Student Ambassador Program

Building Community. Fostering Connections.

Navigating life as a PreHealth undergraduate can be challenging — but you don’t have to do it alone! The PMPH Student Ambassador Program connects students to foster mentorship, leadership, and community within Northeastern’s PreHealth network.

Program Overview

Our goal is to create an inclusive, supportive PreHealth community that helps students thrive academically, socially, and professionally.

PMPH Student Ambassadors serve in a dual role:

  • Community Ambassadors – representing the PMPH community at special events and helping build connections with peers and the larger Northeastern community.
  • Peer Mentors – offering support and guidance to first-year PreHealth students.

Peer Mentorship Component:

As part of the Ambassador role, second-year students and above are paried 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.

First-year students interested in being paired with a Student Ambassador should complete this form [application coming soon!]

Community Engagement Component:

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

  • Annual Health Professions Conference
  • Special Events
  • Student Panels and Mixers
  • Tabling at information fairs/Welcome Days

Who Can Apply?

  • Student Ambassador positions are  open to second year students and above.

Commitment:

Our Student Ambassador Program is entirely voluntary. However, we ask that you only apply to become an Ambassador if you plan to be actively engaged and participate as your schedule allows.

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 will open soon! (more information coming soon!).
