The Pons Talk | Graduating as a Socially Responsible Global Citizen
“It was really after leaving Dulwich College Beijing that I realised the value of a Dulwich education,” observed Ingrid Bodeen, a graduate of Class 2017.
In the second episode of The Pons Talk, a podcast where our current students interview exceptional alumni from our Worldwise Alumni Network, Ingrid shares how her Dulwich education empowered her to succeed after she graduated.
Insightfully interviewed by Annabelle L, a current Year 12 Dulwich student, Ingrid explains how her experience at Dulwich College Beijing shaped her passion for sustainability and social impact, which she now pursues at George Washington University by majoring in International Affairs with a concentration in Conflict Resolution.
Last summer, Ingrid also became one of two alumni to receive the first-ever Dulwich college International Sustainable Development Grant, which enabled her to complete a social impact-focused internship at Talk2U through our partnership with Puentes Abroad.
