Spring 2023 Phillips Ambassadors

After a competitive application process, ten new Phillips Ambassadors were selected for Spring 2023 study abroad programs in Asia. The students will attend a unique seminar course with returning ambassadors before they leave, and again upon return from studying abroad. They will also attend several networking events and complete a self-designed Give Back project to share their experience with their hometown or campus community.

Ten Phillips Ambassadors will start classes abroad in Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. We are excited to follow their journeys to Asia and back. The group photo was taken at the fall awards reception in November at The Carolina Inn where we celebrated our new ambassadors and returning ambassadors.
