Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Zhu is an education leader and entrepreneur with nine years of experience designing programs that connect international and domestic students across K-12, community college, and research-university settings. As Assistant Director at the University of Washington CIRCLE, he launched virtual and in-person initiatives—Unite UW, Regional Connection Groups, and CIRCLE of Friends—that onboarded and engaged roughly 1,800 international students during a period of pandemic disruption. He combines classroom expertise (PhD work in composition, rhetoric, and international student writing) with hands-on program building from founding a US-China education company to coordinating large-scale summer exchanges. Known for treating every workplace as his own, Dan focuses on scalable, community-centered interventions that improve cross-cultural transition and retention. Based in Seattle, he quietly contributes to open source efforts while mentoring students to be ambassadors of cultural diversity and inclusion. His long-term goal is to use education to bring people closer together, a mission reflected in both curriculum design and large virtual engagement campaigns.
