UD Global Study Ambassadors

Picked by social media representatives in the Office of Communications and Marketing, Global Study Ambassadors are the students who provide content for Dare to Explore.

Now in its third year, Dare to Explore saw a record number of Global Study Ambassador applications.

Some Global Study Ambassadors are working together with fellow students in their programs to create blogs that will provide much of the Facebook content for Dare to Explore, and others are tweeting about their adventures using the hashtag #udabroad.
