Q&A with Tuck Student Ambassador: Roy Movshovitz-Moav

Tuck's Student Ambassador Team collaborates with the Admissions Office to share their Tuck experience with prospective students. The Team is structured by geographical region, with an SAT Captain leading each. In the following months, we'll introduce you to them starting with Roy Movshovitz-Moav, T'18 and Middle-East Captain. Please reach out to Roy or any other Student Ambassador using this website. They love to connect with future Tuckies, especially when they're from "home"!

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I was born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel but spent most of my adult years in Tel Aviv. After completing a 6.5 year-long service in the Israeli Air Force, I started working for Aeronautics Ltd, one of Israel's leading drone manufacturers/exporters. While working full-time at Aeronautics, I attended Tel-Aviv University and earned a degree in the Humanities and Economics. I'm currently exploring career options for post-Tuck, but am drawn to roles in consulting and tech.

Why Tuck?

Three reasons: 

• Location—living in the amazing Upper Valley is really an opportunity of a lifetime.
• Community—the relatively small class size means that within weeks you get to know most, if not all, of your classmates.
• Faculty—there's hardly a day that goes by at Tuck without being amazed by our professors. By incorporating their research into class they make every session unique and powerful.

Everyone at Tuck chooses a different path. What’s your life at Tuck like?

I'm currently involved in the Consulting Club, Tech Club, Outdoors Club and the Jewish Club. I spend the remainder of the time with my wonderful wife and our dog Benny. On the weekend you'll probably find me playing Tripod Hockey and basketball.

Transformational Moment

Sitting in Cook auditorium on the last day of orientation and hearing dean Slaughter talk about our role as future leaders in our society. 

Why did you join the Student Ambassador Team?

I find the role super rewarding! As someone who was recently an applicant himself, I believe I can help many others who are currently debating about b-school or Tuck. Specifically, I'm interested in reaching out and developing more interest in my home region. 

What surprised you most about Tuck?

The number of opportunities to take on a leadership role and the number of social events that take place on campus or in Sachem Village.

Any advice for prospective students?

Maybe the most common one, but surely the best one—just be yourself! There is no alternative to being genuine through the process and knowing that the program you chose is right for who you are.
