Undergraduate Dean's Ambassadors
The CCI Undergraduate Dean’s Ambassadors program is focused on promotion of the College experience to prospective and new students, Corporate Partners, VIP guests, potential donors, etc. Dean's Ambassadors play a significant role in recruiting and admissions events, as well as driving new student growth and engagement. By becoming a Dean’s Ambassador, you will help fellow students; strengthen your leadership, public speaking and communication skills; and develop unique experiences with CCI's academic partners. This is a paid position.
Ambassadors assist CCI through:
- Promoting and supporting Diversity & Inclusion
- Conversations and presentations for prospective students and families
- Highlighting the strengths of CCI and what makes it unique through your own experiences.
Note: Dean's Ambassadors serve for one academic year (break week prior to Fall term to end of break weeks after Summer term). An exception may be made for graduating seniors.

Peer Mentors
Becoming a Peer Mentor is an opportunity to develop leadership skills and connect with your fellow peers in a meaningful way. The goal is to enhance our College community through involvement in UNIV CI101 classes, community-building events for CCI and in the Living-Learning Community, and guiding first-year students in a formal mentorship program.
Peer Mentors assist undergraduate CCI students in the following ways:
- Transitioning to life at Drexel
- Building community within CCI
- Sharing their student experience in the classroom and on co-op
- Providing information about campus resources such as tutoring, clubs and organizations, and Drexel's Counseling Center
