Silvia Li has been the Director of Chinese Operations at Troy University since 2011. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big part of Li’s job is working with students from all over the world which allows here to learn about a variety of cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We do have a lot of opportunities because in this place we have a lot of students coming in and out and sometimes they just need someone to talk with,” says Li.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Li’s office is filled with mementos from students she has worked with throughout the years which brings back memories both happy and sad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the sad memories was an event early in her tenure where a student died in an accident and she had to work with the family to make arrangements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That was the first most important thing right after I took this job,” says Li. “I wasn’t very experienced and didn’t really know how important this job meant to me until I went through that event.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
