GETTING INVOLVED: Engineering Ambassadors

By -

Looking for leadership opportunities within engineering at Purdue? There are plenty of them, one of the most popular options is to become an Ambassador in the College of Engineering. 

There are a few different ways in which students can become ambassadors at Purdue!


1) Global Engineering Ambassadors

Ambassadors for Purdue’s Global Engineering Program interact with both current and prospective students. In addition to presenting at student fairs, they are involved in various Global Engineering events.  This includes participating in the annual I2D Expo and hosting international visitors on campus. As a bonus, ambassadors who participate in at least 10 events each semester will be awarded a $250 travel grant that can be applied to a study abroad program or to a conference for professional development. Additional grants can be earned as they continue to participate in more events throughout the semester!

2) Engineering Ambassadors

These students are ambassadors for the entire College of Engineering. Their focus is on representing Purdue Engineering at various alumni, recruitment and retention events. 

3) Student Ambassadors (for a specific engineering discipline)

Discipline-specific ambassadors represent and promote their discipline’s school by hosting tours around campus for visitors, meeting with guest lecturers who speak at seminars, networking with graduates and interacting with prospective students to give them information about their respective type of engineering at Purdue. There are also ambassadors who represent the Honors Engineering Program here at Purdue, and they are a great resource for students who want to learn more about the Honors Engineering experience!

Being an ambassador is a great opportunity to work on your leadership and communication skills. It also builds your resume and most importantly, you get to represent and show your pride for Purdue Engineering!

Understanding Purdue Housing

By -

One of the many concerns incoming freshmen have is what to do regarding their housing options. In addition to the roommate selection process, you may be interested in seeing your on-campus options in terms of amenities and the communities available within the building. For example, when I accepted my admission to Purdue as a freshman, I knew I was interested in a standard double that I had experienced at a summer college program. To ensure my University Residences housing, I applied to Vertically Integrated Projects so that I would be able to pursue a research project as a freshman while also guaranteeing my housing within Earhart Hall through the connected learning community. For more information on learning communities, read our previous blog! Many freshmen will live in a residence hall, even if they are not in a specific learning community. Now, as a Resident Assistant or RA in Earhart Hall, I have been trained on the term “residence hall”; our halls go beyond a traditional “dormito

Jenn and her friends after the Thankgiving dinner Food is an integral part of our day. For some people, the very first thing they do in the morning is eat breakfast. I personally prefer my cup of coffee to a stack of waffles. Nonetheless, food has the power to pick up a bad mood, enhance a good mood, and even ease the stress you are feeling about exams and homework. The awareness I have of how food impacts my mood is recently found since I started college in August. at home I usually came home to my mom or dad making something delicious in the crockpot. Suddenly I arrive at college and there are so many options that it can get overwhelming at times to figure out what to eat. Navigating the dining options at college did not seem like something I should have been worried about, yet it was something that took a month of experimenting to perfect.  The key is knowing where to go and what is consistent. I decided to help you out and give you some insight into how I view each dining option on
