🗣️ IN YOUR WORDS (Cy-Anne, Chengdu alumna): "I was inspired by an Asian American student who told me about her learning experiences in school and teaching in an elementary classroom, and it just clicked.

Since I returned home, I talk about China almost every day — no kidding. I talk about it more to other Black students, if anything. I also became a Study Abroad Peer Advisor where I have a platform to speak to first-year students and minority groups about my experiences studying abroad."
