Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors  are current UNH students and Hamel Center awardees who have engaged in independent research, scholarly, and creative projects during their undergraduate careers and want to help current and prospective students get involved.  Student Ambassadors represent the Hamel Center in classroom presentations, info sessions, and resource fairs.  They also share their experiences through the Hamel Center’s Undergraduate Research Blog, and serve as an informal student advisory board to the Hamel Center, providing input on outreach efforts and programs.
