The Ambassador Program is an informal program designed to provide opportunities for alumnae engagement in areas where a regional club does not exist. Ambassadors are selected by the Alumnae Association and are asked to plan at least one gathering per year. See below for more details and to determine if the ambassador program is right for your area. For further information, contact Cynthia Washington, Associate Director of Regional Alumnae Engagement at cwashing@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-5233.

Selection Criteria

• Has initiated interest in the College, and has supported the mission and goals of the College, as exhibited by one or more of the following:
  • has been a positive advocate for the College both within the alumnae community and in the broader community
  • attended regional events, class reunion, and/or College hosted programs          
  • is/was a volunteer for ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø

• Will initiate alumnae outreach (but not necessarily be responsible for doing all of the work) including asking other alumnae in the community to organize or host an event.

• When possible, contact alumnae that are new to the community, welcoming them with a phone call, email, coffee date, etc.
