Beyase Wu traveled more than 7,700 miles from her hometowns of Taichung, Taiwan & Okinawa, Japan to study Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising.  Her journey around the world is also part of a tribute to her family.
 
“My father majored in International Affairs and my mother has her own bridal company associated with Swarovski Crystals and other brands,” Wu said. “My mother didn't get the chance to major in the arts so I wanted to be her second chance by living her dream to attend a fashion school. Since my father is a business guru and I got my artistic abilities from my mother's side of the family, I wanted to get into both Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandise.”
 
Wu is one of 82 international students in the Class of 2023, and one of 1,523 international students across Kent State’s 8-campus system.
