“My experience at Tsinghua has been wonderful. I have rarely learned and experienced so much in such a short time - both that which I had hoped for, and that which I did not even know was possible.”
Besides his classes, Joël Naoki Ernesto Christoph (France) from the Tsinghua-Johns Hopkins dual degree master’s program in Global Politics and Economics has partaken in many various activities in his first year with us. His highlights include the many cultural trips taken with classmates, attending and organizing all types of events, and the delicious food from the canteens.
In December 2019, Joël joined the inaugural Youth Delegation of the Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC), an initiative by Tsinghua University, at the 25th United Nations Climate Change Conference, held in Madrid. “Representing GAUC at COP25 has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. There were many takeaways, every day.”
When asked about his time at Tsinghua, his main takeaway was that “both in Beijing and beyond, there are countless opportunities and it's up to each one of us to take initiative, get involved, speak our actions, and live our words.”
