W&M Washington Center Ambassador Program

Engaging with the Washington Center is now more impactful than ever through our Ambassador Program! The Ambassador Program is designed for those looking to engage with the Washington Center by increasing awareness and participation in the wonderful opportunities for students AND alumni hosted by the Center. We’re looking for ambassadors to join us in this effort and it doesn’t take much! Ambassadors work closely with the Washington Center team to share ways for folks in their networks to get involved with the Washington Center and engage with students. Ambassadors will play a vital role as leaders for and advocates of the Center and will be highlighted as such in the W&M community. If you join us as an ambassador, you also get early access to all Washington Center events and opportunities!

This is a wonderful opportunity to share with other members of the W&M community about your experiences with the Washington Center and how Study in D.C. opportunities can make an important difference in students’ lives.
