Undergraduate International Peer Advisor Program

Hey!  I'm Ayomikun Adeyanju, also known as A.Y. I'm currently a rising senior from Lagos, Nigeria, pursuing a double major in Economics and International Relations with a focus on Africa. Additionally, I am minoring in French. My interests lie in driving economic development in Africa, promoting Pan-Africanism, and engaging in social impact consulting. At Tufts, I hold multiple roles including being the captain of COCOA (Children of Cultures of Africa), the sole African dance team on campus, a student consultant at 180 Degrees Consulting, and a Writing Fellow at the StAAR Centre. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Rwanda through a Hillel program called Tufts with Rwanda. It was an eye-opening experience where I learned about the genocide and connected with students at ASYV, a youth village for teenage victims of the tragedy. When I'm not occupied, I enjoy choreographing, watching K-dramas, indulging in historical-fiction books, and exploring new places through travel. I'm excited to connect with all of you, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about being an international student at Tufts.
