She and her 8 staff members teach English to over 200 outstanding Chinese students each year.The Chinese students major in international politics,economics, finance,and accounting.

Diane became acquainted with China during a 1981 MIS trip with the Cedarville College women's basketball team.She returned three different times to study Chinese and to lead MIS teams. When People's University first asked Cedarville College to send English teachers, it was through the efforts of Myron Youngman '76.The quality performance ofthose early teachers so impressed the university officials that they invited Dr.Paul Dixon to sign a teaching agreement in 1986. Cedarville College agreed to provide English teachers and to assist professors at People's in finding opportunities for advanced study in the United States. Myron was the staff director for ERAP when Diane went to teach in China.She succeeded him as staff director in 1987. As a result ofERAP's success at People's University, BILI requested a staff ofteachers to begin teaching English to a select group ofstudents beginning in 1991. Besides Diane and Myron,13 other Cedarville College alumni have been a part ofERAP in the past six years:Susan Dean Bowman'87,Phillip"Eddie"Clifford '86,Beverly Curtis '70, Sara Beattie Dixon '84,Greg Hobaugh '90,Matt Moore'92,Scott Morgan '88,Julie Prentice '82,Sharon Rawson '82,Clinton Rice'92,Jewel Schroder'86,Dana Weld'89,and Michael Wittmer'89.
