Li Xuemei, Dean of the School of Foreign Languages at SUAS, 2015

…And while his professional qualities are certainly fantastic, it is his genuine humanity, altruistic qualities, and humble dedication and commitment to serving his students, colleagues, and friends, that most distinguishes him as an individual. Perhaps his most important accomplishments come from the way he’s impacted the students, who are fond of explaining how he doesn’t just teach them subjects, but teaches them life. He has succeeded in permanently impacting and positively transforming the very lives of his students in ways that can only be achieved by connecting with the hearts and minds of humans in the deepest and most profound sense. 

Thus, due to his incredible work ethic, impressive devotion to his students and remarkable dedication to going above and beyond the call of duty in serving the college and its communities, as well as his unparalleled commitment to humanistic education practices, I firmly recommend Rob to you in the highest possible way.
