✨ Meet Liana Ip ✨
Liana has made a meaningful impact in CLASS through her dedication to supporting students, faculty, and staff. One of her standout accomplishments was coordinating a Nike x DHL site tour that gave students an inside look at real supply chain operations and connected classroom learning to industry experience.
A fun fact about Liana is that she studied abroad in Germany, where she once found herself accidentally locked inside a castle after hours. After some problem-solving, she discovered a hidden button that opened the gate, turning the moment into a memorable story. 🏰
In her role, Liana helps ensure the Dean’s Office runs smoothly, connects the campus community with important resources, and mentors student workers as they grow in their academic and professional journeys. Her commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive environment makes her an invaluable part of CLASS. 👏
Thank you for everything you do, Liana! 💚🐎
