Zhixuan Chen (Evelyn) is a first-year student from Shenzhen, China exploring majors in International Comparative Studies and Public Policy. Growing up in Germany gave her a unique perspective on navigating cultural differences, particularly in areas like education policy and issues related to refugee integration. Zhixuan is especially interested in incorporating more artistic subjects into Chinese public education and supporting the social integration of refugees, particularly in areas like job placement, well-being, and fostering cultural acceptance and a sense of belonging. Through the SOL program, Zhixuan hopes to deepen her understanding of ethical leadership and develop skills that will enable her to address complex social issues with empathy and strategic thinking. Outside academics, she enjoys traveling, skiing, playing the piano, and immersing herself in technical theater, especially light and sound design.
