Actor Tang Mei-yun graduates from EMBA program with gratitude

Tang Mei-yun has graduated from National Chengchi University’s EMBA program after more than two years of balancing study with a demanding career.

The nationally recognized Taiwanese kua-a-tsheh opera artist, male-role performer and actor announced her graduation on Facebook. She recalled that colleagues at her troupe had questioned whether she could manage the workload because of her busy schedule.

Tang attended classes while leading the troupe, preparing performances and completing reports, assignments and a thesis. Moving between the roles of student, actor, troupe director and teacher sometimes left her exhausted, she said.

“

I graduated from NCCU’s EMBA program.

She expressed particular gratitude to her troupe colleagues, who took on responsibilities and adjusted work arrangements so she could attend campus and complete her studies. Tang said the diploma also belonged in part to the people who supported her.

She described the completed program as the end of one journey, not the end of learning. She said she would carry forward the knowledge, friendships and gratitude gained during the program and continue studying and moving ahead.

There is no end to learning, and life always brings new lessons.
