Samantha Cox (Beaulieu College class of 2019), is about to graduate with a BA from Stellenbosch University. One of her majors is Chinese. She entered an essay competition offered by the Confucius Institute and sponsored by the Chinese Embassy. Sam won the Ambassador’s award that came with a lovely cash prize. Her winning essay was on China’s poverty alleviation policy and how it could apply to South Africa. Sam also won the language proficiency prize, the Naspers Scholarship award. She will be continuing her Chinese studies next year with an Honours programme, and then hopefully going to China to do a Masters degree. We are exceptionally proud of her!
