Introduction to the global circles
The PSSD global circles are local groups of alumni in different cities or regions around the world, initiated by the Global Ambassadors: active former students who act as community builders in their area. Alumni and students can take part in the groups and network with each other, thanks to the "global circles season," where every year they meet up in person or online to get up to date with the current state of the discipline and brainstorm around a relevant topic co-decided by the PSSD Global Ambassadors board and the faculty.
Global Ambassador Board
The Global PSSD Ambassadors Program is a worldwide network of alumni volunteers rooted in local cities and regions. They serve as points of contact between the local professional market and the PSSD community, helping students and alumni connect with their city's design landscape, both online and in person.
Ambassadors also play an active role in shaping the community's culture and knowledge. They organise the yearly PSSD Circles: local gatherings where PSSD alumni explore a design topic chosen jointly by faculty and ambassadors — and translate local perspectives into shared stories that keep the broader network informed, visible, and connected.
Network Assistant
The Community Network Assistant is a PSSD student volunteering or interning for the programme who supports the organisation and communication of the global circles. They are also mediators in the WhatsApp community group, where they facilitate announcements and group management.
