The Olin Ambassador Program is a way for students looking to study abroad to learn more about the available programs by speaking with a student who has already been abroad. The ambassadors have studied in a diverse set of locations (Europe, Asia, and South America) and programs (traditional study abroad and internship). Below are our current ambassadors. Feel free to reach out to any of them to learn more about their program and experiences with studying abroad.

Ambassadors also serve as local guides for incoming exchange students, available to offer advice on adjusting to life in the US, St. Louis, and Washington University.

Ananya Radhakrishnan

I went to Hong Kong. If you’re considering study abroad, do it with an open mind. You’re going to meet many new people, go to many places, and experience a ton of new things, both fun and potentially out of your comfort zone. Embrace it, and once you come back, it’ll almost feel like a dream.

I studied abroad the summer going into my Sophomore year in Madrid as a participant in the Entrepreneurship in the E.U. Program and during my Junior spring semester in Copenhagen. On campus, I’m involved in The Women’s Network, Arch Consulting, and Campus Y, and I’m now a global ambassador!

I loved finding new restaurants in the city center, exploring new hiking spots, and getting to know my UCD classmates.
