  • Fiona Sleigh '23 RGLP Reflection: Navigating Intercultural Experiences and Leadership

    November 16, 2020

    Whether as students, leaders, or citizens of the world, we bring to every role or position our unique cultural backgrounds and experiences. The spaces we’ve grown up in and learned in shape how we see ourselves and those around us.

I was raised as a third culture kid (TCK), a term used to identify someone who spent their formative years as an expatriate. I was born in Hong Kong and raised in both Mumbai and Singapore, educated through the international school system.

  • Brandon Zhou '22 RGLP Reflection: Managing Ambiguity at Dartmouth and Beyond

    November 16, 2020

    Often times, we find ourselves in new and unfamiliar environments, whether it be going to college in another state and being surrounded by new friends or travelling to a different country for the first time and not knowing the local language and culture. In these new surroundings, it is important to be adaptable and part of that flexibility is being tolerant and comfortable of ambiguity.
