Nan Wang Honored as an Inspiring Teacher

June 8, 2022

The Star Tribune solicited nominations from students who are grateful to have a special teacher who influenced their life.   Nan Wang, Mandarin teacher, was one of seven teachers across the metro who were highlighted for their impact on a student.  Recent graduate, Wyatte Nissen '22, nominated Wang for inspiring him during his high school years.  

"I met Nan Wang four years ago when I started studying Mandarin. I had always been interested in studying this language but she made me happy that I chose it," writes Nissan.  "She has been a great teacher and educator on China. During my freshman year, she took her students on little field trips, introducing us to Chinese festivals, great restaurants and stores. She has inspired me to take a trip to China one day and maybe keep studying the language. I will always remember her positive way of teaching us about her language and culture. She is amazing and will remain in my memory forever!
