About Our Organization The Engineering Diplomats is an organization that seeks to:
Build excitement and understanding for the arrival of students from Chongqing University (CQU) transferring to the University of Cincinnati's (UC) main campus
Create community and foster innovation through intercultural relations
The arrival of the CQU students marks an opportunity for both UC and CQU students to gain international experience and cultural competence. The Engineering Diplomats host events prior to the CQU students' arrival to raise awareness for the benefits of this program. We also strive to develop a sustainable support system beyond their arrival at UC through collaboration with existing student organizations and other partnerships.
Our Culture The Engineering Diplomats operate on the principles of:
Cross-committee collaboration
If you need volunteers for an event, ask
If you have ideas you want to share, feel free to reach out
Belief in a committee based leadership structure
Everybody is appreciated for the job they complete as all tasks support the organization
All positions are equally important and everyone’s opinion is valued. As such, this is why the Engineering Diplomats does not support a traditional vice-president and president position
Major inclusiveness
The Engineering Diplomats encourage students from all majors to join in accomplishing our mission
Having fun!
This organization is fast paced, but the experiences are invaluable if you participate in the areas that interest you
