The Chinese Flagship Program was the exact catalyst I needed to take my language skills to true fluency. During immersion, it was the combination of rigorous academics and connecting with my fellow students, both from the US and native to Taiwan, that ended up as my most meaningful memories. This program proved to me my own resilience and commitment to growth, and in return opened doors to opportunities I’m beyond excited to pursue.
