“I had an amazing experience as a Future Connections Ambassador I participated in behind the scenes work that I haven’t known existed until this year. I’ve also got a chance to share my knowledge with interns participating in the program and to the funders as well. During my time at UCI I’ve enhanced my speaking skills, social skills, and the way I handle responsibility.”

“My summer as an Ambassador has been amazing. I have gotten the chance to network with so many influential people, work for a program that I love, and grow along with the other mentors. Even though it is an ambassador’s job to promote personal development, skill development, and career exploration to the interns we end up growing in these areas ourselves.”
