Nicholas Woo '20 hails from Seattle, Washington where he grew up in a Cantonese-speaking household, studied Mandarin throughout Elementary school, French in High School, and continues to study French in addition to Diné (Navajo) since coming to Dartmouth. Nicholas graduated from University Prep with honors as a National Merit Commended Scholar, AP Scholar with Honor, recipient of the Société Honoraire de Français and Washington State Honors Award. Here at Dartmouth, Nicholas is a Native American Studies and Government Double Major, and Sophomore Research Scholar. His goal is to promote international understanding, particularly in advancing indigenous rights, sovereignty, and affairs in a “post”-colonial international order that has systemically branded Native peoples as insurgent groups or displaced dependents. On campus, Nicholas is involved with the Dartmouth Law Journal, Dartmouth Political Times, PRIDE Programming Committee, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) Programming Committee, Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, and the Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC). After graduation, Nicholas plans to enlist with the Peace Corps before attending law school or IR graduate school.
