Our Ambassadors
A special feature of the McDonnell Academy is that each Scholar has a mentor. Each mentor also serves as an ambassador.
The Ambassadors are distinguished faculty who
serve as mentors to Scholars and are charged with strengthening collaboration with our partner universities. Collaborative efforts engage WashU faculty and students, and those of the partner universities, activities that enhance scholarship and international understanding.
I am energized by the global partnerships in engineering and public health that take up the challenges we all face jointly. I am grateful to the McDonnell Academy for catalyzing these and enabling local partners to have global impact.
