Xiaowei Zhou, 2013 - My name is Xiaowei and I am from Chongqing, China. After graduating, I will pursue my Master of Science in Accounting at graduate school. So far, I have been admitted to the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), North Dakota State University (NDSU), and University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).  I planned to continue my graduate study at UIC. I believe the education in UMC and my advisor’s and instructors’ references played an important role through my application process. I do really appreciate all the support and education I received from University of Minnesota Crookston.

 

Yundi Liu, 2013 - My name is Yundi Liu. I transferred from a Chinese university to UMC in 2010. I appreciate all the faculty, staff, and classmates who help me a lot in and outside of the classroom. I have accomplished much during my undergraduate years. However, I recognize that there remains much to learn and to experience. Thus, I am intent to move forward to advanced studies in accounting at a graduate school. I have been admitted to the graduate programs at the Illinois State University, University of Massachusetts, University of San Diego, and Rochester Institute of Technology.
