Andre Nelson
I am a senior communication major with a philosophy minor, an Honors Student, and a varsity athlete. I currently serve on the leadership committee for the Student Alumni Association, I have been an RA for two years, and have served as a TA for biology as well as a French tutor. Prior to Houghton, I was evacuated from the darkest forests of war-torn Congo, immersed in the French culture of the beautiful Montagne Bourbonnaise, and raised in the streets of dirty dirty Dallas in the bold state of Texas.
