International students share their stories

UNMC international students play an integral part in the global ambassador program. A global ambassador acts as a primary source of practical information to help the new-to-the-US international student settle into their new community. A current student is matched with one or two incoming students, depending on how many students sign up for the program. Without current students volunteering to help the incoming student transition to UNMC, the program would not be successful.
