PHMI Ambassador
Ambassadors of the Pre-Health Mentoring Initiative
Ambassadors are passionate and committed PHMI Mentors that act as representatives of PHMI. They are responsible for leading mentor training sessions, attending PHMI community-building events, participating in PHMI information sessions, and acting as a source of guidance for mentors and unmatched mentees. As PHMI Ambassadors are incredibly knowledgeable about what it means to be a part of PHMI and a Pre-Health student at Hunter College, they are able to provide valuable advice to new and seasoned mentors alike. As PHMI receives an increasing number of students seeking mentorship each year, Ambassadors act as temporary mentors for mentees that are in the process of being assigned to permanent mentors, ensuring that every student has someone to turn to with their PHMI and/or pre-health-related questions, comments, and concerns, no matter how long they have been part of the program.
