Blaze a trail to a healthier future

A new opportunity for students who join Calvin in the fall of 2024.

In a time of pandemic, one thing is clear: the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our communities affects each and every one of us. If ever there was a time for passionate thinkers and problem-solvers to step forward and chart a course to a healthier society, it is now.

As a Health Ambassador, you’ll be part of a tight-knit group that shares your passion for shaping healthier communities. And because this is Calvin, you’ll learn by doing—solving real-world problems in real communities. You could spearhead a health-focused service project in a local neighborhood. You might travel abroad to see firsthand how different communities grapple uniquely with the challenge of public wellness.

The challenges we face can be as broad as a pandemic and as local as a single person’s mental health. As a health ambassador, you’ll graduate with the skill and experience to lead from the front lines.
