  • Taiwo Oladapo Ogundipe
    "Becoming Global Citizens for a Sustainable Society" has increased my resolve not to only do the best for myself but for others in my society, and beyond in making our world a sustainable place to live in.
    Currently, I am part of the team that is committed to building an international new Huairou district in Beijing, China by organizing programs to integrate the international students to the district and learn more about the Chinese tradition and culture.

Thank you for producing this insightful course.
