Student Ambassador: Da'Jon Stoudemire

Student Ambassador Da'Jon Sooudemire headshot

Why did you choose to attend Tulane?

After attending the admitted students' day, I felt a sense of belonging here at Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Also, while I was applying, I was in contact with several faculty members who were nothing less than supportive and helpful.

Why are you interested in volunteering as a student ambassador?

As students apply and start to weigh their options to make the best-informed decision, I'd like to assist them in the task, giving transparent information from a student's perspective.

What's your dream job?

Once I graduate, I would like to become a PhD candidate to further explore some of my areas of interest (e.g., mental health, men's health, and health equity).

What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?

The advice I would give someone who is considering a degree in public health is to reflect on why you want a degree in PH and what jobs and/or opportunities you see yourself pursuing with the degree.

Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?

My hobbies include: Hanging with friends, reading, trying new recipes, & stepping,

What is the best thing about being a student at Tulane thus far?

Meeting new students. Everyone here comes from an array of different backgrounds. Because of that, I enjoy meeting other students to learn more about them.
