CNLM Ambassador Program
The CNLM Ambassador Program, led by Manuella Yassa, Director of Outreach and Education, aims to advance public understanding of brain science through outreach and educational activities. The engine of the program is the group of more than 50 UC Irvine undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who design, execute and evaluate meaningful activities on campus and in the community throughout the year. The program provides meaningful leadership opportunities for UC Irvine brain scientists as well as professional development training in scientific communication, educational program outcome design and evaluation.
The committees include:
- Brain Bee Committee
- Brain Explorer Academy Committee
- Communications Committee
- K-12 Events Committee
- Older Adult Events Committee
- Professional Development Committee
- Program Outcomes Committee
If you are interested in becoming a CNLM Ambassador please reach out to the program chairs, Jessica Lingad or Natalie DiProspero.
