My Experience Abroad:
I am minoring in East Asian Area Studies. During my time interning at a non-profit in Beijing that aims to build bridges between the U.S. and China, my eyes were opened to issues pertaining U.S.-China relations; I was able to see the other side of the picture. I also developed an interest in Chinese business, hence I am encouraged to take a class on the governance and management of Chinese firms that will count towards my Management concentration in Wharton.
