Rose Quan (’20)
Rose (Jingyao) Quan earned a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Management. During her undergraduate years in Florida International University Honors College, she was a development intern in Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum, a student ambassador, a Red Cross shelter worker, and a founder/board member of College of Business Dean’s Student Advisory Board. She seizes every opportunity to help as many people as possible or serve a leadership role when it is needed.
She developed a strong interest in arts after received years of piano lessons as a child and two-year full-time western painting training back in China. Practicing arts can be a one-person task, so she joined the cheerleading squad during the first year in college to sharpen her team building and social skills. She believes the power of education can change the world especially for women of color. After she earned two bachelor degrees in business from both Chinses and the American universities, she continues graduate studies in Boston University Arts Administration program.
Rose currently work as a graduate assistant in the BU Arts Administration office and serve as the president for Arts Administration Student Association (AASA). Outside work and study, she is a volunteer for Red Cross and Boston Arts Festival. She developed administrative skills from the role as a graduate assistant and development intern; her philanthropic spirit continually grows with her volunteering experience. Rose’s high-energy work style, positive attitude, and outstanding intercultural communication skills prepared her to welcome any challenges and opportunities in the future.
Boston University Arts Administration Program combines my skills in business administration and my interest in arts, which gives me a new perspective of the art world. The program offers upper-level courses are focused on both the academic discipline and administrative skills that help me to discover new paths to success as a future arts administrator and a lifelong time learner.
