The 2025-2026 Student Ambassador Cohort with the Department Vice Chair

Economics Student Ambassador Program

The Department of Economics Student Ambassador Program is an exciting initiative that brings together three dynamic teams of undergraduate students: Events, Mentorship, and Tutoring. The teams are designed to help foster connection, leadership, and support within our undergraduate community. Ambassadors also have the creative freedom to design and lead their own events under the guidance of the UCLA Economics undergraduate advisors.

Each team within the program plays a vital role in building a stronger, more connected department:

  • Events: The Student Ambassador Events Team assists in the planning and development of department events, including but not limited to workshops, panels, new student events, and commencement.Tutoring: The Student Ambassador Tutoring Team coordinates and manages a free drop-in tutoring service for core Economics courses.
  • Tutoring: The Student Ambassador Tutoring Team coordinates and manages a peer-to-peer tutoring program, which offers drop-in style tutoring for core Economics courses. They are also involved in the design and distribution of academic resources meant to support undergraduate students in their economics coursework.
  • Mentorship: The Student Ambassador Mentorship Program is an opportunity for undergraduate Economics students to be paired as mentors and mentees. Ambassadors on this team lead the program by recruiting mentors and mentees, determining pairings, and planning events for students in the program.
