North Carolina A&T State University May 2014 BIOENGINEERING STUDENT WILL SERVE IN AMBASSADOR PROGRAM Joshua Lee, a bioengineering junior, has been selected to serve as an ambassador at Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The TMCF-CDC Ambassador Program is designed to help the CDC better understand public HBCUs and build relationships on campus with faculty, staff and student groups. The relationships will help to widen the pipeline to TMCF member-schools and students for enhanced human capital acquisition. TMCF and CDC staffs work together with the ambassadors to host and organize events to bring awareness of public health and the CDC's mission to the campus and community. The CDC is actively engaged with ambassadors throughout the year through mentoring opportunities, an exclusive TMCF public health workshop, and internships at the CDC. As a TMCF-CDC Ambassador, Lee will participate in a number of appointments, be introduced to public health careers, and gain a greater sense of professional development. "The rewarding aspect from this experience will enhance my professional career in the health and medical industry. The exposure will help develop my knowledge while challenging me to expand my global awareness, " said Lee. Lee is the first student from North Carolina A&T State University to serve as a TMCF-CDC Ambassador. SANDRA M.
