Meet the Access and Outreach Ambassadors
The Access and Outreach Ambassadors are a group of current students who work closely with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to plan on-campus and virtual visit programs, create web content, and represent Tufts at events for prospective students. We invite you to contact these students to learn more about the many facets of diversity represented on our campus.
Hello everyone! My name is Ishan Gichohi, and I am from Randolph, Massachusetts. I am studying Chinese and finance. Tufts is such a wonderful place with a collaborative community that truly has something for everyone. There are so many opportunities and resources here to take advantage of, and I’ve grown a lot since I arrived. I have met extraordinary, caring, smart, and compassionate people along the way.
On campus, you can find me working out in the Steve Tisch Sports Center, studying in the library, or enjoying a meal in Dewick Dining Hall. I’m involved in several groups, including the Tufts Black Men’s Group, the Tufts Financial Group, and Club Basketball. I am on the Diversity Admissions Team because I am eager to share my experiences as a student of color in a predominantly white space. I want to be a resource for others and help in any way I can, showing Tufts' profound impact on me.
My name is Sam and I’m from Vernon, Connecticut. I’m a junior and I plan on majoring in Civic Studies and Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora Studies. I hope to later receive my PhD and use my degree to help create change regarding the narrative of how marginalized communities are taught in our classrooms. More specifically, I want to educate students about Indigenous communities and teach Native culture (such as my own) in a way that is unbiased and, above all, true. On campus, I’m involved with the Indigenous Students Organization at Tufts (ISOT) and spend much of my time in the Indigenous Center. My favorite part of the Tufts community would have to be how passionate the students are! It seems like everyone is dedicated to at least one social issue, if not several. I love taking walks to Davis with my friends and exploring the city in my free time, especially after a stressful week. I’m excited to be a DAT ambassador and hope to answer any questions you might have!
Hi everyone! My name is Wilson Tran and I'm a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry on the premed track. I grew up in Minnesota for most of my life before I moved to Texas. I chose Tufts because of its welcoming and collaborative community, which was introduced to me through my time in the Voices program! Throughout my time at Tufts, this community has remained true through my time in the FIRST Center, Vietnamese Student Club, CAMI, and MAPS. I'm a part of the Diversity Admissions Team to share the interdisciplinary and collaborative atmosphere at Tufts that allows you to truly grow and form your own path.
Hello, Jumbos! My name is Isaac, and I am a sophomore studying Political Science and Romance Studies. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and am the son of Mexican immigrants. I chose Tufts because of its commitment to providing students of all backgrounds with opportunities to foster innovative ideas that make the world a better place. As a low-income first-gen student, Tufts has helped me find my voice and amplify it. As a diversity ambassador, I wish to share the resources to ensure other students find a place on campus that they can call home. Aside from my current role, I am a writer for the Tufts Undergraduate Law Review and am the Events Programming Manager for the QuestBridge chapter at Tufts.
