New: Become an MECP Cultural Ambassador

Do you enjoy meeting new people and learning about other cultures? If the answer is yes, then you may be a great fit for the MECP’s Cultural Ambassadors Program.

The MECP’s Cultural Ambassador Program seeks to foster cultural exchange at UConn by pairing Middle Eastern international students with US-born students. Ambassadors engage in cross-cultural mentoring that involves an ongoing, intentional, and mutually enriching relationship with someone of a different nationality, working together with other Ambassadors to organize events that highlight aspects of their respective culture and everyday experience.

Our MECP Cultural Ambassadors are a family. Together we watch movies, go grocery shopping, dissect American slang, grab dinner, and share tips and tricks. Click here to become an Ambassador today.
