About the Program
The Asian American Studies Ambassadors program promotes the positive and inclusive experiences of students during their time as an AASP concentrator. Ambassadors represent AASP in events such as APIDA events, Day of the Badger and other Asian American Studies co-sponsored events. Additionally, they give us feedback and suggestions for improving the program.
Become an AASP Ambassador!
If you love sharing your AAS enthusiasm and experiences, then please consider becoming an Asian American Studies Program Ambassador! Our AASP Ambassadors will help plan social events, contribute to social media, and represent the program for Day of the Badger, APIDA Heritage Month, UW-Madison student recruitment events and more. Additionally, all Ambassadors will receive a gift!
If you’re interested, please send an email to asianamerican@letsci.wisc.edu with the subject line “AASP Ambassador” and one paragraph explaining why you are interested.
