Astha Dugar
Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
– Viktor Frankl

What is your fondest memory from your time at MUWCI?
Board game nights are my kryptonite. And if anyone tells you I am competitive, I will prove them wrong. (Also my advisory sessions – especially the very first one – hold a special place in my heart.)
What do you love about teaching at MUWCI?
MUWCI isn’t just a school – it’s a kaleidoscope of cultures, ideas, and late-night debates. What I love most is watching students discover themselves, challenge each other, and grow into people who will undoubtedly change the world.
