Junior Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation majorbrianna kaplan editBiggest Takeaway from being an Ambassador: My biggest takeaway from the Ambassador Program is that anyone can benefit from an entrepreneurial education. I find that when i talk to prospective students about their interests, I can always find a way to tailor entrepreneurship to them and show them that it can pair well with what they want to study. 

Favorite Thing about Being an Ambassador: I love that I represent Horn on campus and at university events. It gives me a chance to tell my story about my own experiences within this program to prospective students and parents. It gives them a firsthand look of how Horn impacts its students on a day to day basis.

It has been a great way to practice important selling skill like active listening, asking good questions, telling stories and tailoring my messaging to each unique student.

Favorite Thing about Being an Ambassador: My favorite thing is helping the prospective students find their right fit. With so many offerings it is easy to find something they could benefit from at Horn, but even if nothing works for their interests it is rewarding to help them with their decision about Delaware.
