About Karthik Ilakkuvan

Campus Activities: International Relations Club, Alma Mater Productions, Intramural Sports Aficionado

Coming into William & Mary as a wee-little, rather immature freshman, I didn’t know if this was the place for me. As with most things in my life before I turned 18, I was very wrong. I quickly fell in love with the College, from long walks down DoG (Duke of Gloucester) Street, late night chats with freshman hall mates in the second floor lounge of Monroe, and movie nights in a variety of academic buildings. The opportunities the College provided me and the people I met here – there’s nothing like it, and it all started with Monroe Hall, my first home at W&M. Tribe Pride.
