Shadow Program

About the Program

The College of Business offers you the opportunity to experience a day in the life of an Illinois Business student by participating in the Student Ambassador Program. This program allows you to attend class with one of our student ambassadors as well as a one-on-one meal.

Student arrives on campus and meets with a College of Business Student Ambassador. The ambassador takes the student to one of their classes followed by lunch. The entire shadow experience takes approximately three hours.
