Tulane Global Ambassadors

Below is just a small group of international and U.S. students at Tulane who are actively engaged with our international community. These Global Ambassadors are more than happy to discuss aspects of Tulane with you, as well as their adjustment to making our unique campus and city home.

Each student has listed topics that most interest them, as well as their hometown. Please get in touch with any and all of them for their personal perspectives on Tulane.
