EI Ambassadors

Serving as the student arm representing the Entrepreneurship Initiative, the EI Ambassador program consists of a select group of students interested in further development of their leadership and entrepreneurial skills. In return for the time and dedication of these students, the EI will offer learning and growing opportunities unique to Ambassadors only.

Examples of such opportunities include Fireside Chats during which Ambassadors will enjoy a meal with an entrepreneur in a setting that provides ample time for questions and relationship building, networking opportunities with friends of the EI, mentoring opportunities, etiquette training, lunch events, use of the Garage, leadership development, social opportunities, logo apparel, and more.
