The recipients of the award will be assigned a mentor from the AMBS Social Responsibility committee to help with their SR initiatives, involvement and development during their undergraduate studies at AMBS. They will be encouraged to become an AMBS Social Responsibility Student Champion and will be invited to meet the full social responsibility committee once a year.
