…
As a new Canadian Lily has adapted incredibly well and is now able
to bridge Canadian and Chinese viewpoints with relative ease. In
the MBA program Lily has performed a very important role in assisting
students from China in setting and adapting to the demands of the
Canadian educational system. There are very few students who can
move back and forth between the cultures and assist others to appreciate
the difference, as well as Lily can – she has been an exceptionally
fine asset to us at Royal Roads University
As a person Lily is a very
outgoing and positive, full of ideas and committed to both the growth
of this institution as well as her own personal growth. Lily is
ambitious and matches hard work – a winning combination which
I anticipate will carry her a long way in her career.
Additionally, Lily has shown
herself capable of throwing herself in at the deep end, ready to
take risks: She is always willing to try new things, as a review
of her career to date will show. Most importantly Lily has a great
desire to keep learning new things – her strong effort to
master project management is just an example.
Lily is one of those students who will be
remembered long after she has moved on into her career. Always full
of life and energy, she is a most charming person who is socially
at ease in all situations – a gift which she uses to assist
others feel at ease as well.
I am pleased to be able to write of Lily
in such positive terms – There is much in her to be admired.
Lily will be a great asset to whoever is fortunate enough to engage
her services – and I wish her well.

Note: Today, Dr. Ron Bordessa is the

upon my graduation has impacted me profoundly. It reminds me of
what I can do to make a difference at work, at community level;
in both Canada and internationally.

Lily has a creative, insightful approach
to entrepreneurship, she is not afraid of trying out new ideas and
looks for solutions that distribute the benefit. As a new Canadian,
Lily has taken to heart the notion that every citizen has a responsibility
to their community. Her energy and kindness have had a lasting impact
on this university.
I know that Lily will be accomplished in
any endeavour to which she commits herself and I wish her the greatest
