Emmy Wahlström

Class Year '26

Getting here:

After staring at the Atlantic ocean every day at UWC RCN (’22) in Norway, I finally decided to swim across one day. I reached shore at coa and this beautiful island is now becoming one of my homes.

Classes

Indigenous America

College Seminar: Utopia/Dystopia

My approach to human ecology:

Embracing confusion, writing down my thoughts, and trusting intuition. + Asking “how” & “why”!

Activities, traditions, celebrations:

I work as an Admission Fellow = I’m part of the coolest work-study team on campus!

Passions & motivations:

The effectiveness of psilocybin in psychedelic treatments is so hopeful!

Adventures yet to come:

Learning Spanish? Summer job in a mountain hut? Writing not-cringe poetry in English? Volunteering as a First Aider?

Best meal on campus:

Every breakfast in TAB feels like a fancy hotel buffet - I love it.

COA might be the right college for you if...

you are curious to find out what you don’t know.
