Recently, WIST alumnus Lucas returned to campus to share his inspiring journey with current students. Once known as the "Coffee Kid," Lucas initiated a charity drip coffee bag project during his time at school, successfully raising 1.1 million NTD to support underprivileged students in rural areas. He also transformed artwork by Ukrainian children into coffee bag designs, donating the proceeds to local child welfare organizations—spreading the care of WIST to every corner of the world, one cup of coffee at a time. 
Now, as a student at Duke University, Lucas continues to pursue his passion and mission. During his talk, he shared exciting experiences, including immersing himself in the electrifying atmosphere of NCAA and American football games, tackling the challenges of filming overseas documentaries, and working as a news reporter. These opportunities have helped him grow, blending learning with real-world practice while expanding his global perspective. 
Lucas also spoke candidly about the challenges and insights he has gained throughout his career exploration, encouraging students to bravely chase their dreams and persevere in the face of obstacles. His journey not only offered a glimpse into the vibrant life at a top international university but also left his audience inspired and motivated for the future! 
Looking ahead, we hope that more alumni will return to share their experiences and pass on their dreams—ensuring that the story of Washington International School continues to shine on the world stage!
