While completing research for her PhD (Comparing Undergraduate Design Education between China and Other Countries) we had the unique pleasure of having Hou Liping as a visitor during our 2012 school year at Northeastern University. Hou Liping is a Vice Dean and Vice professor at Shandong University of Art and Design as well as a PhD student at China Central Academy of Art in Beijing.

Hou was able to observe our very unique class and was able to share in many discussions with our students. Upon her departure she thanked us for our openness and we thanked her of course for her desire to participate and collaborate with us. We wish you safe travels Hou and look forward to future collaborations.
