AEM Ambassadors Mission Statement

The mission of the AEM Ambassadors is to promote and strengthen the Department of Applied Economics and Management, give leadership and assistance to fellow AEM students, provide representation and information to the Cornell community and beyond, and embody the ambition, diversity, and goals of Cornell's Undergraduate Business Program.

AEM Ambassadors Committees

Business Advisory Council Relations Committee: Responsible for communicating with the Undergraduate Business Program's Advisory Council. This Council is comprised of top Cornell alumni and AEM stakeholders. Need articulate members who are interested in networking with top CEOs, presidents, and alumni.

Alumni Relations Committee: Responsible for alumni outreach and programming. Responsibilities include contacting and networking with alums to gain support for the AEM program, as well as establishing events that foster strong relations between current AEM students and graduates.

Student Connections Committee: Responsible for communicating with prospective students throughout the year (with a focus on Cornell Days). The SC Committee is also responsible for special events and programming for current AEM students. Committee is a good fit for members with an interest in PR and event planning.

AEM Undergraduate Business Program Development Committee: Responsible for aiding Professor McLaughlin and his development committee as they seek corporate and individual giving. Excellent opportunity to refine or practice proposal writing in addition to establishing initiatives or identifying areas of improvement for the AEM Program.
