​Our Mission

"As ambassadors of the USC Keck School of Medicine, students will serve as on-campus representatives of the program, working to strengthen the current student network. Since ambassadors strive to embody the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge available while studying in Keck, they act as liaisons between program advisors, students, and alumni in order to facilitate fellowship, outreach, and communication. With this, the ambassador program will continue to develop as a resource for not only Keck Undergraduate students, but also the USC community as a whole."

Our Objectives

Our ambassador cohorts are comprised of students from a variety of backgrounds – with interests ranging from health care policy to pharmaceuticals to medicine. We encourage you to explore the contents of this website and familiarize yourself with the opportunities our program offers. In holding these events, we hope to foster community building and fellowship among our peers.​
The primary goals of our organization are to:
  • Create and foster mentoring relationships between underclassmen and upperclassmen
  • Build and strengthen the Keck Undergraduate alumni network
  • Provide peer guidance and support to current Keck Undergraduate students 
  • ​Increase on-campus awareness of the Keck Undergraduate programs through outreach and programming

Our Committees

Every year, our ambassadors join one of our four main committees, working alongside each other to accomplish our organization's goals. A committee chair, often a returning ambassador with prior experience in our organization's programming, leads a team of students in working to meet our organization's yearly objectives.
  • Alumni Relations: Collect, manage, and distribute relevant alumni contacts and resources to current students.
  • Community Engagement: Organize external volunteering events, as well as create and promote social media content.
  • Mentorship: ​Design, coordinate, and facilitate our annual mentorship program for participating Keck undergraduates.
  • Student Advocacy and Inclusion: Compile student initiatives and opportunities, address and communicate student needs with the department.
