Neuroscience Welcomes Student Ambassadors

For the Fall 2021 Semester, the Neuroscience Advising Team is welcoming the inaugural class of Neuroscience Student Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors are  the faces and voices of the Neuroscience student body and assist in the continuing  development of our undergraduate program.

Ambassadors will have the opportunity to participate in recruitment initiatives, host and plan community building and professional development events, and lead our social media initiatives. They will also meet frequently with our Director of Undergraduate Programs as an advisory board to share any feedback collected from the NEUR student body.


Our 2021-2022 NEUR ambassadors include a group of 11 students with varying interests and experiences, but one common goal: to grow and improve the Neuroscience Major at the University of Maryland.
