The CCD Career Ambassador Program (CAP) at BU is a student leadership and peer education program that enlists BU undergraduates to support the efforts of the centers to increase BU students’ awareness of and engagement with CCD programs and services.CAs are enthusiastic about providing their peers with the knowledge and tools that support career related success at BU. CAs facilitate a variety of professional skill-building programs and help students identify and become aware of other resources and events. As liaisons to the BU community, CAs are the face of the CCD and help keep resources relevant and accessible by fostering a supportive peer-to-peer environment both at the Yawkey Center for Student Service and across campus.
