Meet our team of JMC Ambassadors! These current students have a range of experiences at MSU and JMC, and they are here to connect with prospective students to answer the questions you might have about being a part of our community.
Watch video interviews with six Madison ambassadors in our JMC Student Stories series on YouTube.
Andrea
Majors: IR & SRP
What I love most about my majors: I enjoy how much my majors intersect and how I can approach them from different angles. IR helps me understand how global security dynamics and power relations shape policies across nations. In SRP, I focus on issues of identity, race, and ethnicity, particularly how they intersect with politics and society. Together, these majors give me a broad understanding of how the world works at both the international and community levels.
