Engineering Ambassadors

As an Engineering Ambassador, you’ll develop meaningful leadership skills while sharing your passion for engineering with the community.

Engineering Ambassadors (EAs) are undergraduate students in the College of Engineering who represent the College at undergraduate recruitment and youth outreach activities on campus and across the Seattle area. EAs are dedicated to educating future Huskies about pathways to engineering at the University of Washington; primary audiences include prospective students in K-12 schools, community and technical colleges and community-based organizations.
