The mission of the International Peer Advisor program is to support international students with their adjustment to Tufts and the US through peer-to-peer support and guidance. Through peers, students will learn about resources for navigating Tufts and will be able to build an inclusive community and connect with one another.

Undergraduate Peer Advisor Program
- Where to go to get information about various issues and concerns such as academic, personal, or financial support
- Identify ways to connect to campus extracurricular or other activities
- Learn how to get practical advice on navigating the Tufts environment or pursuing different academic and professional opportunities
- Get informal opinions and advice about how to make the most of your Tufts experience
Peer advisors do not provide advice on complex immigration, health, psychological or related private and confidential matters. However, they can provide directions to appropriate campus resources.

Hi everyone! My name is Karla, and I’m a rising junior from Damascus, Syria, double majoring in Computer Science and Cognitive and Brain Sciences. I love learning languages (and flexing my 450+ day streak on Duolingo), taking pictures (have been experimenting with film), and binge-watching TV shows (currently watching Severance). Shoutout to any UWC kids (UWC Atlantic alum here). Super excited to meet all of you!!

Hi! My name is Osinachi. I am a rising junior at Tufts majoring in Computer Science in the School of Engineering and hoping to graduate with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I was born and bred in South-Eastern Nigeria in West Africa. I speak Igbo, Turkish and English. I love listening to music, learning new things, fixing puzzles and cooking Nigerian dishes (…think jellof rice). I am excited to meet you all!

Hi! I’m Alex, a rising junior from Yunnan, China, double majoring in Quantitative Economics and International Relations. I love traveling, running, hiking, and capturing scenic moments through photography. In my downtime, you’ll often find me reading novels or watching films from different country. I’m always curious about new perspectives and cultures, whether through books, screens, or real-world adventures!

Hi all! My name is Miguel, and I’m a rising senior from Venezuela. I completed High School in Venezuela, but I also graduated from UWC East Africa in Tanzania before coming to Tufts. I’m double majoring in International Relations and Psychology, with a minor in French. I love watching and playing soccer, with a crazy passion for my team, Juventus. I recently found out that I love cooking (though I’m a beginner), and I also love talking about music and lyrics. Can’t wait to meet you all!
