2025-26 Research Ambassadors
This page highlights our 2025-26 Research Ambassador cohort.
The Research Ambassadors help their peers navigate the world of undergraduate research at Caltech. Ambassadors are assigned per House and Residence, and help the Student-Faculty Programs Office by facilitating SURF Information Sessions, serving as a peer advisor for students with questions about SFP programs, and providing direct feedback to the SFP team on student concerns and programming.
