Student Profile: Aileen Kuang
Find your community and work that you're interested in outside of academia! I've found that, for me, the academy can feel very isolating -- like you're stuck in an ivory tower. Investing time in your community and making connections can help you get out of that mindset and makes your work as a humanities student all the more meaningful.
Student Profile: Sandy Reyes Tena
I studied Spanish and Environmental Studies. Both of these areas have always been important to me and they are both closely linked to my identity.
Siya
I was born and raised in Newcastle, South Africa. I crossed the Atlantic to pursue my undergraduate studies at St. Olaf College in Minnesota where I received my bachelors studying Chinese, Economics and Political Science. While in undergrad I enjoyed working in residential life where I was first introduced to a role where I could support students. After graduating I moved to Shanghai, China where I worked at a public university before working with an American study-abroad company facilitating programs in Shanghai.
