Ambassador Profile
Hello future Vols!
My name is Mason Roddy. I am a senior pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering with a minor in engineering management.
I was born in Greenville, SC. There, I enjoyed playing baseball and hanging out with friends and family. I came to the University of Tennessee for its great balance of quality education and life outside of academics.
On campus, aside from being an ambassador, I am a part of the Engineering Honors College, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Student Science Technology Association. All of these allow me to have a space outside of my academics to focus on my passion for aerospace and provide new opportunities to grow. I also participate in intramurals, spend time with friends, hike, and, of course, go to UT sporting events.
In my short time at Tennessee, I have become published, presenting my personal research at a student conference, participated in undergraduate research, and even shook hands with a few influential people in my field, like a Director of NASA Marshall and a Vice President of Lockheed Martin. None of these things could have been possible, had I not come to Tennessee.
I am so happy I made the choice to come to Knoxville. I have made enough friends and memories to last a lifetime. I have found a place that allows me to grow and feel prepared for my life outside of college. I have loved my time in Tennessee, and I encourage you to come here as well to grow your family by becoming a Volunteer!
