DA1.23 (2)

The Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University is proud to present its 2017-2018 class of Dean’s Ambassadors.

Dean’s Ambassadors are outstanding student citizens and leaders from the Pardee School’s graduate and undergraduate academic programs. They are passionate and knowledgeable about the Pardee School and about Boston University.

“Pardee School Dean’s Ambassadors are chosen from a pool of outstanding students after a multi-stage competitive process that looked at all aspects of academic excellence, good citizenship, and leadership,” said Pardee School Dean Adil Najam. “You should be proud of this achievement.”

The role of the Dean’s Ambassador is to represent the Pardee School Dean and the School at special events, with prospective students, alumni, and distinguished guests. They serve as a liaison to the wider BU community as well as prospective students and families. 

“As a School of international affairs we take the word ‘Ambassador’ very seriously and our Dean’s Ambassadors have been given this title in the same earnestness,” Najam said.
