Katherine Kuo
In my time at MSFS, I have gained exposure to and interest in a number of international issues I was previously unaware of through my professors and fellow students, who have experienced them first-hand. The caliber of professors and students in the program is amazing. Most importantly, I gained a greater sense of confidence in my academic and professional capabilities, my ability to cope with challenges, and my place and responsibility in the world.
