A small group of students become ambassadors for Northwestern Qatar beginning in their sophomore year. These students work closely with the Dean’s Office and Student Affairs to engage with VIP guests and develop leadership skills. Each year the newest group of Student Ambassadors travels to Northwestern’s home campus to learn more about the University and to meet with fellow students.
This program offers students an opportunity to travel to New York, London, or Dubai to visit major international news and media organizations. During the trip, students engage with professionals who work as journalists, producers, and strategic communication executives to gain a greater understanding of the different roles that contribute to the global media infrastructure helping them begin to navigate different careers they could pursue.
