My first year with SDAC has been absolutely an incredible journey.

The interdisciplinary curriculums challenged the knowledge that I’ve learned to take for granted and inspired me to contemplate the notion of culture and identity in the context of decision-making. In addition, the program further helps me to determine my future research interests.

Also, I am very privileged to study with my cohort who come from all over the world and have various academic backgrounds, and to learn from extraordinary professors and scholars. Shout out to all the incredible and caring faculty staff and my friends!
