

When the graduates from the 2001 grade presented their tutor with a hadha with their signatories, they were not only expressing gratitude to their tutor but to the first woman professor at the Tibet University.

Qangngoiba Ceyang, the first woman to have been conferred with a professorial title at the university, has much more graduates from her classroom in the 26 years when she has been teaching at the university.

First a translator from Tibetan into Chinese and vice versa, Qangngoiba Ceyang later chose to teach Tibetan history at the university. Thanks to her efforts and hard work, the professor has become a Tibetology expert at both home and abroad, with her writings on the history of Tibet and on the functions of various dalai lamas.

Ceyang's theses on Tibetan women throughout history have been presented at the seventh, eighth and ninth international Tibetology seminar held Austria, the United States and the Netherlands respectively.

Born into a noble family of old Tibet, Ceyang has been trying hard to incorporate what she has learned from her parents and her grandparents into her teaching works at the university.

When asked what she likes most, the first woman professor at the Tibet University said: "Making friends with all types of people."

But the 47-year-old mother of two said that one has to be honest to be a friend in the first place.
