Alexandra Cochrane and China
Alexandra Cochrane, an Indianapolis native and graduate of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, will be a senior at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. She is pursuing a double major in Economics and International Relations with a Chinese language concentration. During the summer of 2006, Alexandra served as a Sagamore intern where her interest in China was piqued by Sagamore's recently concluded collaboration with the Zhejiang Academy of Social Science (ZASS) of Zhejiang, China. This experience inspired Alexandra to spend the Fall 2008 semester studying at Peking University, one of China's premier universities. Combining the knowledge acquired by her Sagamore and Peking University studies, Alexandra was awarded a research grant from William and Mary to study the economic and cultural relationships between Zhejiang's capital city of Hangzhou and its sister cities in the United States: Indianapolis and Boston. Her research grant activities will be conducted in concert with Sagamore's continuing economic development projects aimed at strengthening connections between Indiana and Zhejiang. After graduating in 2010, Alexandra plans to attend law school.
