Campus ChampionValerie Smith, a senior geography major from Auburn, N.Y., is due for a lifestyle change in late February when she reaches Beijing, her spring semester study abroad destination. Beijing’s population hovers around 20 million people, more than 700 times that of her hometown. But Smith, the first individual American student to receive the College’s $1,000 Wah Chip and Yuki Chin Memorial Scholarship, will travel overseas with confidence, curiosity and three semesters of Chinese language study under her belt. “This is my chance to let the Chinese tell their story unfiltered,” said Smith, who aspires to earn a doctorate.
