Graduate Student Ambassadors
Talk to a graduate student ambassador
Our graduate student ambassadors are available to talk with prospective and incoming students about their graduate program and experience at Gies. Ambassadors are a great resource to hear about classes, what it’s like to live in Champaign-Urbana, how to get involved on campus, and even what to do for fun.
