Peer Ambassadors

What are Peer Ambassadors?

The SLHS Peer Ambassador program was started in 2021 to provide a forum for SLHS students to seek advice or support from other students (ambassadors) in a judgment-free environment*. Each year, 5 ambassadors are selected from the second-year CC2 cohort and the third-year CCX cohort who have both academic and clinical experience. In 2022, we added an undergraduate ambassador position as well. Ambassadors host regular drop-in chat sessions in person and on Zoom as well as information sessions devoted to specific topics of interest. Faculty and staff do not attend these sessions/events and the information discussed can remain anonymous, if desired. 
📌 Reminder: Peer Ambassadors are here for informal guidance and support. For questions about course planning, graduation requirements, or program policies, please contact your academic advisor.

Meet the 2025-2026 Ambassadors

We're excited to welcome your Peer Ambassadors for the 2025–2026 academic year!

Peer Ambassadors are second-year students in the program who are here to offer informal support and share tips from their own experience in graduate school. Whether you're wondering how to balance coursework with life, manage clinical placements, or simply want to connect with someone who's been in your shoes, your ambassador is a great resource.
