Undergraduate Student Ambassadors

Introductory coursework in Chemistry typically involves large lecture courses where students can feel disconnected from each other, their instructors, and the Chemistry department at large. To foster a spirit of community and collaboration, the Chemistry Ambassadors program seeks to encourage connections between undergraduates (especially those in our large introductory courses) by engaging our current Majors and Minors as a centerpiece of a supportive and inclusive department culture. Our Chemistry Ambassadors are a dedicated group of students—all with declared Majors or Minors in the Chemistry Department—who are eager to help their peers navigate the Chemistry program, including course selection, choice of Major or Minor, and opportunities for independent research.

The Chemistry Ambassadors program is meant to supplement, not replace, the formal advising system for Tufts undergraduates. So, to make the most of your Chemistry-related Major or Minor,   and your experience at Tufts, we hope you’ll use this program to establish connections with students in department of Chemistry in addition to your Faculty Academic Advisor.

If you prefer to reach the ambassadors by email for any questions about Chemistry Majors or Minors, please contact us at chemambassadors@tufts.edu.
