Alana Chiang (July 2024 Session 2),

Stanford University

As a recent graduate of Phillips Academy Andover, a boarding school in the US, I was completely new to Indonesia and its economy. Despite my unfamiliarity, everyone I met in the program welcomed me with open arms, eager to help me and learn about my experiences. I felt so inspired by the people I was surrounded with everyday, as they each had a different background, and a different experience to share. My fellow students were not only hard workers and high achievers, but they also appreciated the value of having fun and spending time with each other. I absolutely loved the sense of community and bonding we shared as we learned and grew together. The professionals and renowned guest speakers in their fields were incredibly inspiring. They were also very accommodative to different levels and understandings, as the program included a diverse spread of ages and experiences.

Overall, I had an amazing experience at Samuel STAR Finance Academy, and would definitely recommend the program for anyone interested in an introduction to the Indonesian economy and capital markets. The knowledge I learned and the life long friendships I made, have made this course one of the best summer experiences I have had.
