Meet one of Brescia's recent graduates, Flora Wang ('21). Discover how Flora leads together through exploration and celebration of cultures and traditions across the world.
From a global perspective, I think it is critical to be sensitive to cultural diversity while recognizing that your culture and background may be different. When I organize activities for International Bridging or international prgramming, I usually focus on understanding students' respective backgrounds (culture, characteristics, experience, etc.) to ensure that everyone can enjoy the event.
As an international student at Brescia, I learned the differences of women's positioning, expectations and leadership in different cultures. These learnings at Brescia have built my confidence to be successful in the future, whatever career I choose.
Don't be afraid to share your ideas and experiences with others. Brescia students come from different countries and cultures, and maybe something that seems "normal" to you is something that helps others expand their horizons and deepen their understanding.
I choose to lead together in my community though my interest and advocacy in cultures from around the world. Our differences make us unique and we all have something we can learn from each other.
