Exemplary Leadership

Landisang Kotaro BS’09 recently became the youngest and first-ever woman to serve as presidential chief of staff for Palau [“Helping Build Up a Nation,” Fall 2023].

This is an excellent article about this young Palauan woman, whom I respect a lot. She represents the young people in Palau who are always striving to contribute to their motherland.

Learning Abroad

From week-long journeys to full semesters abroad at the U Asia Campus, the U offers worldwide scholastic expeditions that change students’ lives, educations, and careers [“Going Global,” Fall 2023].

I went to another school down south, but I wish I had gone to the U. The U Asia Campus looks like such a terrific experience. We just welcomed my daughter into the world, and I’m going to encourage her to go to the U and to U Asia Campus! Her grandmother grew up in Seoul, and it would be so meaningful for her to study there.

I loved this article in print! I’m traveling to Chile soon, and I thought how great it would be if I could have done that as a student. I’ve told both my kids they should consider the U Asia Campus when they’re older. I think it would be such a valuable experience (and I’d get to go visit them!)
