Join the Diplomats

The Warrington Diplomat program is comprised of the top highly committed and motivated 30-40 junior, senior, and graduate business and accounting student leaders tasked with representing the Warrington College of Business. As the official ambassadors, the Diplomats are involved in public relations events on and off campus and act as resource people regarding college policies, procedures, and programs to new and current students. The visibility, training, and experience gained as a Diplomat are invaluable assets in the professional development process.

The Warrington Diplomats serve the college by giving tours to prospective students, hosting college events, showcasing college resources, and connecting students with personal and professional development opportunities.

Why Diplomats?

“Serving as a Warrington Diplomat is an experience you won’t be able to find anywhere else – while the Diplomats serve you as a student and young professional by providing you with tools and wisdom to succeed, you also have full autonomy to serve back and show your support of the Warrington College of Business.” – Eden Shamir, Alumni

My time as a Diplomat was defined by significant professional growth. By guiding tours for prospective students and facilitating a variety of Warrington events, I developed my public speaking and leadership skills in real-life settings. The mentorship from Warrington faculty and older Diplomats was also impactful, especially as I prepared to graduate and transition into the working world. I treasure my time as a Diplomat!
