Having studied Chinese since high school, I wanted to continue to learn and put my skills to the test by living in China.” said Elena Blair (USA) @elenadblair from Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA Program. If you’re an avid follower of Tsinghua’s social media accounts, you will likely be familiar with Elena’s name, if not her face.
Before coming to Tsinghua, she majored in chemical engineering and lived in Taiwan in order to conduct research.
Upon talking to students who were already in the GMBA program, she realized that Tsinghua was a good platform to make meaningful connections.
While she hopes to stay working in Beijing after graduation, she is going to miss taking walks around campus, as well as the canteen’s 麻辣烫.
