校友 Spotlight
Michele GiuntiJU 2021
Michele GiUnti graduated in 2021 as a double major in 心理学 and Sociology. He is now pursuing a Master in Public Policy at Georgetown University.
"The 心理学 program at JU enabled me to become more inquisitive on the why's and how's of human interaction, and gifted me innumerable possibilities to explore new modes of communication. As a global citizen, it became apparent that, by proceeding from the singular roots of cognition and behavior, I was better prepared to engage with problems that enveloped entire communities. Quite, the focused understanding of its particular members allows, in my opinion, for a less impersonal and bureaucratic approach towards policy making, instead opening paths of communal servant-leadership and quantifiable problem solving."
