Research Ambassadors
Emory’s Research Ambassadors (RA’s) are a dedicated group of upper-level undergraduate students with extensive experience in research. Ambassadors come from a wide range of academic disciplines, such as the arts, humanities, social sciences, and STEM.
Research ambassadors serve as valuable resources, helping students connect with exciting research opportunities and fostering a vibrant research community at Emory.
Our Research Ambassadors help promote research in the community by:
- Holding one-on-one advising appointments with students to provide peer mentorship.
- Organizing and facilitating workshops, informational sessions, panel discussions, and classroom visits to promote research participation.
- Assisting the URP office in planning signature events surrounding research.
- Serving on subcommittees that creatively engage the research community.
