Inside Admissions

Tufts Admissions Team

Monique Giwa-Osagie

Hi, I'm Monique, and I am a junior from New York City. I am majoring in Community Health on a pre-medical track. I am involved in many student groups on campus, such as Children of Cultures of Africa, Tufts University Social Collective, Tufts Timmy Global Health, and the National Society of Black Women in Medicine. When I am not participating in these organizations, you can most likely find me relaxing in the Women's Center. I am currently a tour guide for the Tufts Undergraduate Admissions Office, and I am loving it so far! I hope my blogs can be a source of inspiration for those reading them, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Happy reading!
