Although her business has not yet attracted large numbers of Harvard students, she says the promotional division helps to keep her in touch with aspiring talent in the surrounding community.
"The goal of this division is for us to have a resource to meet college students," Ding says. "If we can open the door to future talents, then they go on to make big money, and we're all happy."
When she is not finding promotional work for college students or attending school plays to scout out talented actors, Ding tackles the office's accounting and bookkeeping.

Ding, who is known around campus as Nan (she only goes by Cecilia at the office), says that this semester she managed to squeeze all her classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays so that she could spend the rest of the week in the office.
"I still feel like I'm not here enough, so when I have a vacation, I work every day," she says.
It's a difficult juggling act, Ding says.
