Living up to her dreams


When Qimei Luo started her internship at the Downtown Community Television Center in Manhattan, she wasn’t sure what to expect. Little did she know that she was about to begin work as a production assistant on a movie that would earn an Oscar nomination.


As an intern, Luo wrote English subtitles for Chinese narrative in the HBO documentary China’s Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province. The film, made in 2008, reported on the devastation left by an earthquake that killed 70,000 people in her home province.


Luo has reached out to her compatriots back home in other ways. Selling Chinese souvenirs, she has raised over $2,000 that will be used to purchase books and clothes for her elementary school, which was razed by the earthquake.


A member of the Emerging Leaders Program at CSI, Luo takes part in student government, serves on the Campus Activity Board and belongs to several clubs.


“I have had wonderful support from the people here,” Luo observes. “Robert Kee [her student leadership coordinator] helped me see the importance of reaching out and getting involved.”


A Malave Leadership Academy fellow, Luo is a Dean’s List student with a grade point average of 3.8. She is finishing up her undergraduate degree in Communications and plans to pursue a master’s degree in Media Studies in the fall of 2011.


“I am very proud of my choice of schools,” she says. “This is the place I should be. I am living up to my dreams.”
