What I value: Family and friends, knowledge and education, teamwork and cooperation are a few things that I value most. Helping people to improve their lives and to realize their dreams are my passion.

How I use my voice: Growing up in China, being educated and having taught in both China and America, I use my expertise and experiences to help Chinese students to ease their culture shock and to prepare them for a smooth transition from Chinese education system to western one, so the students can better adapt to Ursuline multi-culture community.

My vision: Education can change the world. Through productive collaboration between Chinese and American education institutions, I hope to promote a better understanding, communication, and friendship among the people of China, America, and whole world. Through education, I wish to empower people to live a better life.

What I value: My faith, family, education, teamwork and living a purposed-filled life. Although the list goes on, I believe the values listed describe who I am the most.

My Voice: To inspire, encourage and motivate others, particularly young women, to be EVERYTHING they were created to be.

My vision is: To never become stagnant in life. I intend to excel in every area of my life no matter how uncomfortable the journey may become. There is a wonderful quote from Maya Angelou that expresses this thought perfectly. It states, "Stepping onto a brand new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation which is not nurturing to the whole woman."

What I value: Family, respect, honesty and acceptance are a few of my values I live by. My family always comes first and I was taught the importance of respecting others with good manners and kind words. Through age I've learned the importance of being true to oneself and to others, as well as accepting everyone because we were all made to be different in our own unique way.

How I use my voice: Throughout my college experience I was a student-athlete and student-worker. I can only hope that my fun, rewarding, positive experience is received by others through my voice and actions and that it has just as much of a positive impact on them as it did myself.

My vision is: With the help of LASIK, I like to say my vision is like an LCD TV in 1080HD! My vision on life is to appreciate it every day and to live life to its fullest because you never know when it'll be gone.

What I value: Integrity, Community, Determination, Responsibility, and Respect are just a few of the values that I try to incorporate into all of my actions.

How I use my voice: I use my voice to encourage individuals to be themselves. Life would be extremely boring if everyone was the same. The qualities that make us each unique individuals should be celebrated!

My vision is: to live up to my fullest potential and to always be my truest self.

What I Value: Politeness, humor and creativity are the three main values that I live with. My parents have infused this in my mind, the golden rule, "treat others the way that you would like to be treated." I also can't go a day without laughter, I am constantly laughing all of the time. Being creative is just another way to express my emotions.

How I use my voice: Being a recent graduate of Ursuline College, I use my voice to tell prospective students the wonderful experiences that I had here at UC. I was a student-athlete who majored in Visual Communication Design and played basketball. I loved my time at Ursuline as a student and I am loving my time at Ursuline as an employee.

My vision is: This is always a hard question for me to answer. I am the type of person to live in the moment. It is hard for me to say where I will be in 20, 10 or even 5 years. This time of my life is very exciting and I enjoy every minute of it. I continue to set goals for myself and also continue achieve those goals.
