Entrepreneurship Student Ambassador Program

Student Leaders on a Mission

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Student Ambassador Program is a volunteer program that engages the entrepreneurship community at NC State through events and campus-wide programming.

Members of the group serve as the student voice for NC State Innovation and Entrepreneurship and advocate for entrepreneurship programs across campus.

IE Ambassadors play a key role in representing and promoting our programs across campus and beyond. As an ambassador, you will support IE events, table at campus activities, lead tours and host information sessions for prospective students, families and community members.

Application Process

Applications for the 2026-27 ambassador cohort will open in early August.

This is a volunteer opportunity with a time commitment of approximately 10-15 hours per month. Because the program runs throughout the academic year, we ask students to ensure they have the flexibility to commit to both the fall and spring semesters.

Benefits:

  • Exclusive opportunities to connect with IE leadership, funding partners and advisory board members
  • Invitations to attend special IE-sponsored trips and events
  • First access to IE swag
  • A graduation cord for seniors who complete the program.
  • In-depth exposure to the entrepreneurial ecosystem at NC State
  • Experience in public relations — meeting important visitors, public speaking and representing NC State Innovation and Entrepreneurship at university events and programs.

Whether you are passionate about innovation, interested in meeting like-minded peers or simply looking to get more involved on campus, the IE Ambassador Program is a great way to grow your network and develop valuable leadership skills.
