Future Undergraduates

Meet our

Engineering ambassadors!

Our engineering student ambassadors live the engineering life every day, and are the perfect people to answer questions about the engineering experience.

The ambassadors give tours of our buildings, offer advice to future students, and are available for any questions about the College.
