She has worked together with the College of Engineering to design a specialized management curriculum. A class like this would normally cost about 30,000 to take in the business world. Third-year physics student You-zhi Yan stated, “Initially I heard that a lot of people recommended this course. Then I did a search online and found out the teacher was amazing. So I signed right up.” There were a lot of students that couldn’t sign up because the class was full, but they still came to listen in on the lecture. Third-year Business and Management student, Jia-de Lin, stated, “I joined cause I wanted to improve my English ability. When I heard that the instructor was donating the funds for this class to help homeless animals, I was really moved.”
