Every day challenges me with a deep, new learning curve - exposed to a skill, an industry, a function, a practice by experienced colleagues, and/or a request from a client … From academia to the industry, I continue to explore the many ways different peoples and organizations interact, communicate, and connect in our drastically diverse world.” Jiang Yankun ’20: "I took a gap year after graduating from NYUSH. I worked as a Dean's Fellow at the Office of Student Life at NYU Shanghai and later as an intern Consultant at AlixPartners.
