Georgetown University International Initiatives

We wanted to let Georgetown Shanghai Alumni know that there is a new Georgetown Liason Office Director in Shanghai, Pei Liu (刘佩). Dr. Liu is going to be coming to Shanghai at the end of the month. She’ll be attending the March 2, Georgetown Gala at Kathleen’s 5. Please come to the event; it will also be a great opportunity to meet her, and learn more about Georgetown’s plans are in China.

Here is her bio:
Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. in Public Administration from The George Washington University, where she also worked in the Center for the Study of Globalization and taught and advised students. As part of her dissertation, in 2004, she conducted field research in China on the development of Sino-foreign collaborative educational alliances. A native of China, she earned her B.A. in Trade Economics from Wuhan University of Technology and an M.P.A. from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Liu’s academic interests are interdisciplinary, with research and publications focused on new developments in transnational education, joint educational ventures, and international quality assurance and regulation.

Prior to joining Georgetown, she managed the Educational Evaluation Services for Architects program at the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in Washington D.C., a program which provides educational credentialing for foreign architects to work in the United States.

    The Georgetown University School of Business is committed to promoting learning and leadership in international business. We believe that such education cannot be done from afar; students must experience first-hand the challenges of doing business both across national borders and within other countries. Georgetown’s International Residencies provide such experiences for students in all of our MBA programs.

    For this Experience, we seek consulting projects from either small or large companies or organizations, located in the US or anywhere else in the world, which have interests in China. Projects can focus on market and industry analysis, financial valuation, production and operations, social issues, or any specific functional or management issue that confronts management of the sponsoring organization. Since 2003, we have served more than 50 client companies and organizations with interests in China.

    We offer to sponsoring organizations teams of 5-6 second year MBA students who are closely supervised by full-time Georgetown faculty. Projects will be assigned to students in October 2009. The teams will work from Washington DC between October and February, and projects will be completed on location in Shanghai in early March 2010. Typically, the teams will provide a presentation and final report to their clients in or near Shanghai or Washington in early March 2010, though other arrangements are possible. There are no costs to the client companies.
