TAMU Undergraduate Research Ambassadors Program    

The Undergraduate Research Ambassador program is a one-year commitment with the option to be reconsidered for further participation in the program. This leadership opportunity carries with it additional privileges that include honors credit and priority registration if students meet all participation requirements.

Students in the Undergraduate Research Ambassador program will gain knowledge in networking, public speaking, leadership opportunities, and will have increased competitiveness on graduate and professional school applications. Ambassadors often receive additional grant opportunities and other professional development experiences as a result of their involvement.

LAUNCH: Undergraduate Research seeks Ambassadors that will represent diverse academic disciplines across campus, including science, engineering, arts, humanities, business, and social sciences.
