Price Faculty of Engineering Student Ambassador Program

Student Ambassadors are meaningful and engaged students who will play an integral role in the volunteering of their time to promote the Price Faculty of Engineering. Selected students will become the face of the faculty at recruitment events and serve as a strong link between their academic program and future students as well as the community. In addition, they will act as the support team for events within the Faculty.

    "Engineering is a broad field with lots of opportunities."

  • Ask questions

    "Don't be afraid to ask questions, it's okay to reach out."

I chose engineering because it gives you practical, hands-on experience and you have fun with what you learn
