Academic Advisor

Name pronunciation and pronouns:

Weijun (pronounced as way-jween),  she/her/hers 

Describe your academic background and areas of interest.

I earned a BA in Business and an MA in Chinese in China, and undertook doctoral studies in Theatre at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing in intercultural theatre and the relationship between theatre and religion. I hope to finish my dissertation someday.

Describe your "exploring" experience as a student.

I was directly admitted into the Business program. I quickly realized that wasn’t the right path for me, so I used my college years to figure out my real interest and return to my true passion and strengths: literature.

What do you like to do when you are not advising? 

I enjoy walking, reading, traveling, sipping tea and coffee, going to concerts and museums, and playing with my very mischievous cat, Miduo.
