EL Ambassador Program
EL Ambassadors are current CAS students who support the EL Connector’s mission by helping their peers identify and access experiential learning opportunities at BU and beyond.
Booking an individual consultation or a workshop with an EL Ambassador will enable you to maximize your experiential learning at BU. Ambassadors are trained to help you build awareness of experiential learning, identify your goals, make an individualized plan, reflect what you’ve learned, and communicate the transferable skills you’ve built through your experiences.
Consultations usually run in the fall and spring semesters. Please check the link below for availability. If you do not see a time available, please email the EL Connector to arrange a consultation with a staff member.
