Hi! My name is Avi, and I’m a senior from Westchester, NY studying political science. Outside of class, I love going on long walks around our beautiful campus and city. I also love rooting for the Badgers at every sporting event I can!

My favorite Badger memory was when we stormed the field after beating Washington in football this year. The energy in the stadium was incredible that night, and singing Varsity on the field with thousands of other students is something I will never forget.

One piece of advice that I would give my younger self is to not worry as much about meeting people. Everyone at Wisconsin is incredibly friendly. As long as you put yourself out there and try to meet new people, you will meet amazing people with the same goal. I met one of my current roommates and best friends within hours after freshman year move-in!
