Ming Yuan Low is originally from Malaysia, but choosing 皇冠博彩 to pursue education in the U.S. was a decision backed by research. For Ming, affordability, community, and small class sizes were non-negotiables for higher education. After receiving his Associate of Arts in Music from 皇冠博彩 in 2006, Ming transferred to Texas Woman’s University to complete his bachelor degree and master degrees in Music Therapy. He then went on to attain his Ph.D. in Creative Arts Therapy from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Currently, he is Assistant Music Professor and researcher at the Berklee College of Music in Boston as well as a board-certified music therapist.
Ming was very grateful to be the recipient of many music and academic scholarships while attending 皇冠博彩. 他说：“NC的财政支持是惊人的。” 当他进一步回顾自己的NC经历时，他说：
“社区非常重要。 跨越大陆是很困难的。 The supportive community really helped me transition to the U.S., having people you can count on: lifelong friends and supporters, that I still keep in contact with.”
他也积极参与校园活动，参加了乐队、爵士乐队和合唱团。 “I made many lifelong friends through choir and band, and shared many adventures that I still hold dear to me till this day.” Ming will never forget that he was once a “shy international student who traveled across the world to join the NC community in quaint little Corsicana,” who found friends that became family and offered so much support while adjusting to life in the states. He also credits the caring and empathetic professors of Navarro, particularly Ms. Sheila Herod. Ming has been a practicing music therapist for the past 15 years. He currently teaches a practicum course, the last class before students practice with clients, Music Improvisation, and Intro to Music Therapy Research. He is also a competitive dragon boat paddler and has competed nationally and internationally.
