 November 2020: Weiping Qin, current student 



Weiping Qin already had a long history of volunteerism when he transferred to UMGC from Harford Community College (HCC). At HCC, Qin served as the Student Government Association President during the 2019-2020 year and was actively involved in the school's Alternative Break program, where students provide community service during their spring, summer, or winter break. These opportunities led Qin to volunteer in New Orleans, Rome, Italy, and at the National Marine Sanctuary in Key West, Florida. Qin enjoyed being part of a team that was there to help others. In addition to his community service at HCC, Qin donated money in 2019 to create the "Weiping Qin Freedom Scholarship" at Harford Community College. 

"His Holiness the Dalai Lama told me that love and an altruistic heart can make me happy and make our world better," said Qin. "I totally agree — volunteering is one important part of my wonderful life."

Qin joined the Navy earlier this year and recently participated in the UMGC Virtual FUND Run to support military veteran students. He began his journey at UMGC this past summer, where he is pursuing a bachelor's degree in management studies. In addition to his military commitments and studies, Qin is a YouTuber and enjoys being active on Twitter.
