Student Ambassador Program

the bridge between cultures

Student Ambassador Program (SAP) is an Asia-Pacific based short-term internship program that offers opportunities for students to serve as Ambassadors and join APA’s faculty-led study abroad programs (FLPs) so they can interact with their peers from other countries, including the US and Asia-Pacific countries/regions. During the short-term internship program, the Ambassadors play an important role in working with the APA program team to coordinate the program’s on-site daily operations and help the international students become immersed in the local culture. The goal of the SAP is to build a community in which students from different countries can learn from each other, gain new perspectives, and improve their intercultural communication skills.
