CMU Highland Ambassadors

The Highland Ambassadors program is a vital part of creating and maintaining an engaged student-alumni community at Carnegie Mellon. These involved student leaders are the bridge between current students and alumni, serving as advisors, advocates, event support and marketers for Alumni Association initiatives. Highland Ambassadors are undergraduate and graduate students with representation across all schools and colleges.

As a Highland Ambassador, you will:

• Demonstrate leadership on and off campus
• Serve as official student representatives at VIP events locally and nationally
• Host selected university guests and prospective students on campus
• Participate in a wide array of events and special projects as assistants, volunteers or paid workers
• Advocate for student philanthropy
• Engage and create meaningful relationships with alumni, including those on the Alumni Association Board and with the Pittsburgh Network leadership
• Become the next generation of alumni volunteer leaders after graduation

Highland Ambassadors are chosen through an application and interview process. Applicants must:

• Be active and engaged on campus
• Sign a Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement and adhere to all standards listed in it
• Make a gift to the university each year (minimum $5)
