Joon Ha Medical Student, Imperial College School of Medicine My name is Joon Ha and I am a final year student at Imperial College School of Medicine in London, UK. My first involvement with ASEF came through AU 15 where the theme was Migration and Multiculturalism. This was a great platform to explore ideas and issues that are becoming increasingly important in this age of globalisation. My hope is to continue my involvement with ASEF and the opportunities to view the world and learn through new perspectives of professions, nationalities and cultures.
