Sophie R.

Ambassador at Emory University

Class of 2025

Hometown: Newton Center, MA

Major: Religion

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

I love exploring new restaurants in Atlanta! The food is so good and there are so many close to Emory's campus.

What has been your most impactful class?

My Religious Ethics class allowed me to work with Buddhist monks from Tibet and Cambodia while also teaching me about the real meaning of compassion and kindness. Even though the class is over, I am still friends with many of the monks, and I meet with my professor regularly for coffee!

On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

Running around Lullwater Park or exploring bookstores!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

I love the Coke Toast! It is so fun and unique, and, even though it's a small gesture, it really makes you feel like a part of Emory.
