We wanted to let Georgetown Shanghai Alumni know that there is a new Georgetown Liason Office Director in Shanghai, Pei Liu (刘佩). Dr. Liu is going to be coming to Shanghai at the end of the month. She’ll be attending the March 2, Georgetown Gala at Kathleen’s 5. Please come to the event; it will also be a great opportunity to meet her, and learn more about Georgetown’s plans are in China.

Here is her bio:
Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. in Public Administration from The George Washington University, where she also worked in the Center for the Study of Globalization and taught and advised students. As part of her dissertation, in 2004, she conducted field research in China on the development of Sino-foreign collaborative educational alliances. A native of China, she earned her B.A. in Trade Economics from Wuhan University of Technology and an M.P.A. from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Liu’s academic interests are interdisciplinary, with research and publications focused on new developments in transnational education, joint educational ventures, and international quality assurance and regulation.

Prior to joining Georgetown, she managed the Educational Evaluation Services for Architects program at the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in Washington D.C., a program which provides educational credentialing for foreign architects to work in the United States.

About Wokai – http://www.wokai.org/
Wokai is a charitable organization that enables people to contribute directly to the loans of entrepreneurs in rural China, empowering them to lift themselves from poverty.

Wokai was founded in the Spring of 2007 by Casey Wilson and Courtney McColgan, two young women who met while studying Chinese at Tsinghua University. In their travels between rural and urban China, they witnessed the injustice of China’s burgeoning income gap. Microfinance offered a solution, empowering the poor to work their way towards financial independence. With as small as $150, a borrower can start her own business, accumulate savings, and eventually earn a stable income to pay for education, healthcare, and other services. Moved by the cause, they decided to commit their lives to augmenting this type of positive change in China.
