In the past year, we have witnessed popular uprisings that have led to changes in governments in Algeria, Sudan, and Puerto Rico. At the same time, the United States used various methods to encourage or force regime change in Iran, Syria and Venezuela. Internal popular uprisings are often undertaken on pretexts of defending or extending human rights, but they can sometimes result in abuses of human rights. And calls for regime change in the name of “democracy” and “human rights” are often used to justify imperial intervention resulting in additional domestic repression.

Who We Are
The Student Engagement Ambassadors work as a team to promote learning by engaging students in various professional development experiences and mentor students looking to expand their involvement at UB. These student leaders build bridges between students and Student Engagement programs and act as resources and guides to students who are looking for leadership, service, and experiential learning opportunities.
Our Student Engagement Ambassadors are trained to find opportunities that will help you make the most of your time here at UB. Students can schedule an appointment with a Student Engagement Ambassador online through the Navigate app.
A Student Engagement Ambassador will send you a confirmation email with further instructions for your meeting.
