Engineering Student Ambassadors
The College of Engineering is proud to feature a team of Engineering Student Ambassadors, or ESAs who work year-round to provide a wide range of support, including program development and marketing efforts, as well as event facilitation for both for their peers and the community at large. Examples of ESA-driven or supported programs for current students include Bytes and Bites and Wahine Connect (see subpages for more details), as well as major college events such as the bi-annual Career Expo and the Annual Banquet. Learn more about the current team of ESAs on our K-12 Outreach page.
Advice from your ESAs
Prospective, incoming and current students can also reach out to our team of friendly and enthusiastic ESAs with questions about student life, general college advice, and even lunch spot recommendations!
Contact your ESA team at engsamb@hawaii.edu with any questions or to schedule a time to chat.
Student Survival Guide
Each year, the ESAs produce a new edition of the Student Survival Guide, a resource for those seeking advice and guidance on the engineering student experience from a peer perspective. From course registration tips to favorite study spots and housing recommendations, the Student Survival Guide has you covered!
