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.
