International Regional Representatives are Tufts Student Outreach volunteers who proudly represent their country and are eager to answer questions during the academic year for any prospective student. They can provide you with helpful information on what it's like to come and study at Tufts from your part of the world. They have also listed their majors and some of the activities they participate in here at Tufts. If you have questions relating to any of these areas, feel free to contact any of the representatives, regardless of where they are from. We hope you take advantage of this chance to talk to a current Jumbo!
