About the Program
In addition to preparing students for conference participation; the BHSEC Ambassadors Program also motivates them to actively engage with the conference themes through a culminating research project. The project serves as a platform for students to deepen their understanding of the discussion concepts, apply them to real-world issues, and contribute their own unique perspectives. Each cohort member delves into conference texts and presentations, then identifies a burning issue they care about and want to investigate further, and produces a final paper. This independent research journey fosters critical thinking, sharpens research skills, and empowers students to develop their voices as emerging scholars.
The impact of the BHSEC Ambassadors extends beyond the intellectual development of each participant. Integrating students from around the BHSEC network into one cohesive cohort, the program empowers BHSEC students to confidently navigate both the complexities of contemporary issues and the networking skills required to engage meaningfully with conference speakers and other attendees.
BHSEC students and faculty interested in getting involved as ambassadors or chaperones should reach out to Dumaine Williams, Vice President and Dean of the Early College.
