Department: Marketing

I do not promote myself as I value sincerity and authenticity. Hence, I would never ask anyone to vote for me. As Ziggy Marley sings "Got to be true to myself."

Yong Wang


Department: Marketing

I came to our department with confidence and hope. I feel strongly about the future of our department because of our proven ability to cope with the challenges we have faced. I cherish the arduous work that everyone engages in for our department, and would like to receive an opportunity to lead our department in the future journey full of new challenges.

I ask for your vote because we must elect a chairperson knowing what our future is about and how to stay on track. There has been mounting pressure to launch the programs our students desire, to boost our faculty’s productivity under good work-life balance, and to enhance our department’s community relationships and reputation, to name just a few. I am equipped with passion, determination, and necessary skills to carry on these tasks.

I will ensure that voices from our faculty, our students, and our friends and partners are processed timely and expediently so that our department continues to provide excellence to all the constituents. I believe results are more important than talks. Thus, I will also ensure simple, sturdy actions are taken to respond to the latent needs of our faculty and our students. I am keen to stand by your best interest, and to ensure your endeavor is supported in the best possible way. Last but not least, with your vote, I will continue to build a strong department with shared governance and a team spirit. We will bring pride to all the constituents of our department because this is a place where we all can make a difference.

Colleagues, please vote for me to stand as the interim chairperson.
