AAG Diversity Ambassadors

A diverse group of graduate students will be serving as AAG Diversity Ambassadors at the Washington meeting. Volunteers are willing to share their experiences and give advice about college life, graduate school, job searches, networking, navigating the annual meeting, and more to other graduate or undergraduate students.

Faculty or employers who are looking to implement activities to achieve greater diversity in their programs and workforces, and who wish to converse about ideas and experiences are also welcomed. This informal venue seeks to provide an open forum to share recent success stories, engage in conversations regarding recruiting and retention strategies, understanding student and faculty mentoring needs, and other insights from the unique perspectives of the ambassadors.
