Global Ambassadors

Students abroad in South Africa
Students who have participated in HWS semester-long study abroad programs may support the work of the CGE as Global Ambassadors. GA’s serve as peer mentors, representing the programs they participated in to help recruit and prepare students to go abroad. In addition to addressing program-and location-specific questions, GA’s help to provide insight into the study abroad experience generally. This is a volunteer position that will enable you to continue your global journey while building your resume.

Global Buddies

HWS hosts a number of international students from around the world who choose to study at HWS. “Global Buddies” is a program that pairs returned HWS study abroad students with incoming international students. HWS buddies are asked to serve as a cultural and campus resource for their buddy and to participate in one mutually agreed activity per month on campus or in the area to help the international student meet Americans and learn about our community. At the beginning of each semester, the CGE will email all returnees to solicit interest in serving as a Global Buddy.
