When Sarah Syed learned she had been selected as a Schwarzman Scholar, disbelief quickly gave way to excitement – and then to reflection.
“It takes time to sink in,” Syed says. “Even now, my family will say, ‘wow, you’re really moving to China.’ I’ll be in Beijing in just a few months, and it still feels surreal.”
A University of Windsor Faculty of Law alumna, Syed is one of 150 scholars worldwide selected for the Schwarzman Scholars Class of 2026–27.
