The Tilghman International Student Center recruits students every year to serve as International Ambassadors (IA) to provide hospitality and peer mentorship for new international students to adjust to their first year of college study and life at Drew. IAs assist with the International Student Orientation by helping new students move in, answering their questions, and shepherding them across the campus to complete different orientation tasks. Through the IA program, students develop leadership, intercultural, communication, problem-solving, as well as many other soft skills. Find out more here.
