"My main reason for becoming a Davidson International Admission Ambassador is to help students from around the world discover the place I am fortunate to call my second home. I am excited to share the experiences and opportunities Davidson has given me, but most importantly, the lifelong relationships I have built, and continue to build, within this close-knit and diverse community. From the Honor Code and outstanding academics to the beauty and charm of Davidson itself, there is so much that makes this college special. Davidson can feel like a hidden gem to students abroad who may not yet know all that it has to offer, and that is exactly why I am excited to help more international students discover it for themselves."
