CAPA Ambassador Program

Stay Connected to Your Study Abroad Experience – Become a CAPA Ambassador!

The CAPA Ambassador program is a semester or year-long leadership and professional development program for recent CAPA study abroad alumni.

As an Ambassador you will have the opportunity to:

  • Unpack your study abroad experience
  • Share your stories and insight from abroad to inspire and advise other students
  • Improve career-related skills and your ability to articulate these skills to future employers
  • Grow your network on campus, on social media, and at CAPA
  • Add tangible work experience to your resume
  • Earn compensation for your time and efforts

The CAPA ambassador program has been a fantastic opportunity for me to grow professionally and to have fun. My public speaking, communication, and social media skills have greatly improved thanks to the program. I've also had a great time sharing my experience with others and reliving my time abroad! This is a fantastic opportunity for CAPA alumni.
