He will attend the APLP East West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii this August and expects be complete the program in May 2011.
Lin hopes the APLP program will help solidify his goals of working in international diplomacy and foreign services.
“Pitzer and its dedicated professors have trained me to think that a job should never have to be just a job, but rather something you are really passionate about,” said Lin.
