Leave No Path Untraveled

Life Invented at SCU

We live in an age of global connectivity and Santa Clara University seeks to graduate students who will become skilled leaders with an understanding of global complexities. Through international opportunities for action and engagement, SCU’s Global Fellows Program combines service, academics, and leadership into an experience that leaves students transformed. Hosted and funded by the Leavey School of Business, the goal of this nine-month program is to nurture competence, conscience, and compassion in Santa Clara students. Recent fellows, Nick Kikuchi and Onno Ho, tell us their stories of personal transformation, and Program Director Tanya Monsef Bunger shares how the Global Fellows Program serves her life’s passion. Our guests aim to leave no path untraveled and continue to explore the possibilities of a truly global society. [SPEAKERS] Onno Ho ‘18, Finance Onno is a junior Finance major at Santa Clara University. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Onno has been lucky to have had a variety of enriching experiences that have shaped who he is today. From teaching children in South Africa, to training with the People's Liberation Army of China, these opportunities have molded his unique perspective. His placement with the Global Fellows Program sent him to work with artisan company AHABolivia in Cochabamba, Bolivia focusing on corporate social responsibility, sustainability, ethical business practices, and teaching mathematics. He’s also studied abroad in London and worked as a financial analyst internship at tech start up, Virtually Reality. Nick Kikuchi ‘18, Bioengineering Nick is a junior Bioengineering major from San Jose, CA and aspires to create a more just and equal world where his research and work can improve the lives of many. He has a powerful goal to work with prosthetic limbs that will revolutionize this technology and industry. His passion is to help others, change the face of medical technology, and create a more just world. Nick’s placement with the Global Fellows Program sent him to work with Moscoso Arquitectura, an architecture firm founded by Mario Moscoso where he was able to put to use his engineering background. His experience in Bolivia changed his perspective and broaden his global view. Nick looks forward to putting his experience in Bolivia into practice when he interns at Genentech this summer.
