International Warriors Program

Name: Ye Lin Khant
Major: Computer Science
Country: Myanmar

"Hi everyone! I am Khant, most of my peers call me Kan. I am originally from Myanmar (aka) Burma. I am currently pursuing Computer Science since I am really into technologies and computer things. According to my interest, I try to expand my knowledge in the field of CS in terms of reading the tech articles or books and googling some up-to-date news. I mostly spend my time on indoor activities rather than the outdoor activities, such as reading the books, listening to the music, and playing some games. As I am a student from ECC, I feel highly honored to be a part of the warrior program which is like a useful bridge in order that the international students to convey their voices and ideas to build better community throughout the campus."
