Upper School Students Share Reflections on Experiences as Immigrants

In December, the Global Studies program hosted its fourth Wildcats Around the World roundtable, a lunch-and-learn series. Eleven Upper School students facilitated their own discussion on the theme of “Sharing the Immigrant Experience.” The panelists shared and compared their global perspectives as immigrants to the United States, reflecting on their varied experiences in relationship to school life, cultural norms, language, language support for family members who are not native English speakers, and more. Attendees were interested to learn more about their peers’ lives in Brazil, China, Colombia, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Switzerland, and Turkey. 

Thank you to the panelists for an engaging Wildcats Around the World lunch!
