Kasei Oma Lin ’26 Receives “Future Global Leader Award” from Maine Trade Organization

"This year we are pleased to honor an exceptional international student from Japan with leadership abilities and a bright future ahead who is now a young global ambassador for Maine," the organization said in its announcement of the award.

Lin participated in MITC's Future Global Leaders, its internship program for college graduates and recent graduates. Interns learn about a variety of Maine businesses as they help companies develop international markets.

"Kasei was fantastic," said Abigail Gray, an international trade specialist with MITC. "He was a leader in the quality of his work, his curiosity, and his ability to work with our team across departments."

Majoring in Asian studies and government, Lin said he plans to attend law school after he graduates from Bowdoin and to one day practice law in East Asia, working with clients around the world.
