From a very young age, Yixiao Zhao has been deeply interested in public safety and has been committed to finding ways to help the communities he is a part of. During the pandemic, he donated hundreds of masks when they were extremely hard to obtain. While living at the International Residential College, he volunteered to clean and disinfect public areas on a daily basis. In July of last year, 100-year storms battered his city in China, trapping passengers at the flooded Zhengzhou Railway Station. Though well aware of the danger, he answered the city’s call to help. He made his way to the train station, where from 1 am to 11 am, he helped drain water and evacuate passengers, earning the gratitude and the commendation of the rescue organizers and those he rescued. Yixiao exemplifies the generous, civic-minded spirit we honor in memory of Lorna Sundberg, and we are happy to present him with this year’s Lorna Sundberg International Scholarship.
