Workplace Ambassador Program

UConn Pride

Successful UConn alumni have established themselves across the world, and maybe in your organization. Highlight your UConn alumni employees while supporting your UConn interns through the Workplace Ambassadors program. Workplace Ambassadors aims to connect UConn alumni with UConn interns during their internship or co-op to leverage their knowledge, skills and Husky pride. Give your UConn interns the opportunity to deepen their connection with your organization by participating in Workplace Ambassadors.

Through networking, informal gatherings, mentoring or internship events, the impact of Workplace Ambassadors is wide-spread.
