Congratulations to IB concentrator, Jiajie "Angel" Zhang (Andrew Davies, Advisor) who has been named a Schwarzman Scholar.

Founded in 2015 by Stephen A. Schwarzman, the scholarship selects scholars annually to complete a one-year master's program in global affairs at Beijing's Tsinghua University. Zhang, one of 200 Schwarzman Scholars, plans to spend the year investigating how Chinese border provinces navigate conflict between humans and wild animals and how China finances climate-related initiatives.
