🎓✨ IC Student Staff Graduation Spotlight ✨🎓
Meet Nathan, a GEEA Peer Advisor and undergraduate cognitive science student! Originally from Daegu and East Lansing, Nathan has become an incredible part of the international community — whether he’s connecting with others at Coffee Hours, playing IC football, or helping students feel more at home on campus. We’re so grateful for the energy and kindness he has brought to the IC team.
💬 “Working at the IC has been one of the best decisions I made at Michigan. I’m so grateful for the friendships, stories, and amazing people from around the world that the IC brought into my life. I’ll be pursuing my master’s in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard.”
Congratulations of graduating Nathan, we are so excited to see what you do next! 💙💛
✨ A special thanks to this Winter 2026's MEAL @ Michigan hosts! ✨
