Overview

Information Box Group

The Graduate Student Ambassador Program at the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) offers a student-centric approach to supporting prospective, new and current students. The program is a collective of student representatives whose mission is to promote FHS graduate programs, provide a channel of communication to potential applicants, engage current students in personal and professional development, and foster relationships with alumni.

Ambassadors are current FHS and FHS-affiliated graduate students who come from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. Ambassadors serve as official student representatives of their programs and liaise with graduate programs, prospective students and alumni.

How can I contact a Graduate Student Ambassador?

The best way to contact Student Ambassadors is via email. Please put “Question to Ambassador” in the subject line to ensure that your message doesn’t get lost. Please also note that all ambassadors are volunteers as well as current graduate students with busy schedules, so kindly allow 48 hours for their responses. Questions about admissions or program entrance requirements should be directed to the program’s administrator. Graduate Student Ambassadors will be happy to answer questions about graduate student life at McMaster and their experiences within their respective programs.
