Lin Li (MIB \u201911) had already been accepted for graduate work at Monash University in Australia when she heard about a partnership between Florida International University (FIU) and Qingdao University, where she had earned two bachelor\u2019s degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is one of the world\u2019s most important economic centers and Miami is a gateway city to the United States and South America,\u201d she said. \u201cThe superior quality of U.S. education is well known as are the high ratings of FIU\u2019s College of Business Administration. I knew studying at FIU would increase my horizons—and it did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lin is among the many students, including a large group from China, who are in FIU\u2019s innovative Dual Degree Program<\/a>, which offers options for the international scholar. Lin began her graduate work at Qingdao University and then completed her Master of International Business (MIB)<\/a> in FIU\u2019s Chapman Graduate School.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing educated in two countries gives me enormous perspective,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Company protects one of the earth\u2019s most valuable resources.<\/em><\/p>\n

Li is now hard at work in Miami, establishing a new company, Best Water Group USA, LLC, with her business partner, Chunwei Cui who serves as chairman of the board of Qingdao Seacon Water Service Technology Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur business will help in water purification and desalination of seawater,\u201d Li said. \u201cThe products we will sell are ultrafiltration membrane modules and filter elements. We hope to bring products from China to the United States and South America and also to establish a manufacturing facility in the Miami area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Li added that the company\u2019s goal is to create new value with an innovative concept.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater pollution is a more serious problem in recent years, especially in developing countries,\u201d she said. \u201cOur products will protect water and limit the discharge of pollution into the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Li credits her education from FIU\u2019s business school with preparing her well.<\/p>\n

\u201cFIU\u2019s teaching not only explains theories but also lets students work with real cases to improve our problem-solving capabilities,\u201d she said. \u201cI learned how to develop a master plan, how to identify and solve problems and many other valuable skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
