UCR's online ambassadors
UC Riverside is helping international students build better connections.

Going to university on the other side of the world can seem overwhelming, but UCR hopes a new online chat feature will help international students learn more about day-to-day life at UCR. Interested students from around the world can reach out to an online ambassador, a current UCR student who shares a similar home country or area of study. Interested students can initiate online chats with these student ambassadors to discuss concerns about everything from classwork to culture shock in a quick, informal manner.
