TAP Ambassadors
A TAP Ambassador is an undergraduate who entered Trinity through an alternative entry route. Ambassadors help us with outreach to our linked schools. The TAP Ambassador programme offers you an opportunity to become a part of a community. TAP recruits, trains and rewards students for giving time to help run over 20 different TAP activities each year.
