The Weingarten Ambassadors program brings together undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from various disciplines and affiliations to increase student awareness and use of the resources of all offices at the Weingarten Center.
Weingarten Center services are most effective when they are used proactively and consistently, and we are excited that our experienced and informed ambassadors will help connect more students with the Weingarten Center at critical moments in their academic lives at Penn.
Our Mission
This program equips and mobilizes students to better support their peers by becoming advocates for the academic resources that they value and have found useful.
