Sara Lee

"My time at UCDC has been absolutely life-changing and I am so grateful for the assistance of the Center and members of the Cal Class of 1968, both financial and through advice and encouragement."

Sara Lee ('12) is majoring in Political Science with an emphasis on International Relations, and with a minor in Chinese at the University of California, Berkeley. She will be spending her fall semester interning with the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Subcommittee on East Asian Affairs. Her research will focus on the impact that issues revolving around North Korea have on Sino-US relations. She hopes to contribute towards resolving the challenges caused by North Korea’s nuclear program and refugee crisis in the event of Pyongyang’s collapse. After her semester in D.C. and her graduation in May 2012, Sara plans to continue working towards improving US foreign relations with countries in East Asia. She eventually plans on pursuing a master’s degree in international affairs or public policy.  Read her story.
