Feng Qiu and his son, Austin.<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n

What\u2019s in a name?<\/p>\n

Ask 2015 MBA graduate Feng Qiu.<\/p>\n

Feng and his wife, Guanjun Xie, welcomed their first child March 30.<\/p>\n

They named the baby boy Austin.<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s right \u2013 the couple used the new home of the College of Business as inspiration for what to call their new son.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this building; I love the College of Business,\u201d Feng said. \u201cI wanted my baby to know that this is the place where his father took off.\u201d<\/p>\n

In China, Feng failed his college entrance examination. After attending junior college, he improbably earned another crack at the exam and this time he passed, gaining admission to Wenzhou University. He majored in management and received a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration in June 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn China, very few junior college students get a second chance,\u201d he said. \u201cThat inspired me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wanting an overseas experience for graduate work, Feng selected Oregon State in part because it\u2019s a member of the INTO University Partnerships program, which works with a number of universities in the U.S., United Kingdom and China to help international students succeed in their new countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program was very helpful for me to prepare for formal MBA study,\u201d he said. \u201cAlso, Oregon is an amazing place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feng began his MBA studies in fall 2012, and his graduate work centered around research led by Assistant Prof. Keith Leavitt. They\u2019ve been looking at leadership behavior how it relates to personality \u2013 both a leader\u2019s explicit personality and his or her implicit personality, the portion of personality that a person may be born with and may not even be aware of.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur work has looked at whether people who are implicitly aggressive are more likely to be abusive as supervisors when they experience emotional resource depletion,\u201d Feng said. \u201cPeople have limited emotional resources, and when something consumes them, it\u2019s harder to have patience and very easy to get mad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feng will next fall begin a Ph.D. program at the University of Oregon and plans to stay both in the U.S. and academia long term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel like I belong here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wherever his path takes him, Feng will obviously never forget OSU.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the College of Business,\u201d said Feng, who his effusive in his gratitude toward his wife for supporting his studies \u2013 and agreeing to name their baby Austin. \u201cThis is the place where I studied hard and changed my life, and I wanted to remember this beauty forever. That\u2019s why I named my baby this.\u201d<\/p>\n
