ABOUT | Biology Ambassadors Program at UNC-Chapel Hill
All things biology. Brought to you by biology students.
The Biology Ambassadors Program at UNC-Chapel Hill is an undergraduate student team of volunteers focused on public outreach to support students connected to the UNC Department of Biology.
What we do:
The main purpose of the program is to assist the UNC Department of Biology by connecting with prospective students, current students, the university, and the community. Ambassadors work to stimulate community interest in science-related activities and the college.
