The Graduate Emissaries program connects trained IU Indianapolis graduate and professional students to serve as ambassadors who support prospective students throughout the graduate journey. Emissaries share valuable insights, offer peer mentorship, and help foster a welcoming, supportive campus community. They also assist with outreach, networking, and connecting students to campus resources and services.
Graduate emissaries play a vital role in introducing graduate opportunities to talented prospective students from a variety of backgrounds. Through effective peer-to-peer communication, they actively support the university’s recruitment, outreach, and advocacy efforts across a broad range of communities.
Emissary activities must comply with University Graduate School, and Indiana University policy, and regulations. Emissaries will receive a small stipend each semester that they serve and report directly to Dr. Tabitha Hardy, Assistant Dean.
