Get to know Cecilia

Known as “Cece” to her friends and as “The Mom of College Ave” to her former residents, Cecilia (Congrong) Zheng is is a research and planning nerd, and a proud one at that.

Cecilia is originally from Jinan, China. The background picture of this page is the view of her hometown.

Currently she is working as the researcher for the MOJO Ad, the premier student-staffed professional-services advertising agency in the country. This past summer, she worked at Bass Pro Shops headquaters as a marketing research intern. If questioned, Cecilia is very upfront about the fact that, prior to her internship, she hadn’t the slightest idea as to what Bass Pro even was. In conjunction with her MOJO research position, she is currently a programmatic media assistant at Coegi in Columbia.
Cecilia is a former peer advisor (a fancy name for RA) in College Avenue Residence Halls, a position she held for nearly three years. For more than a year, she has worked as a researcher at the MediaBrain Lab on campus. She’s active in service with Mizzou Alternative Breaks, through which she attended three service trips and served as a site leader in January 2016.

In her free hours (when she can find them), Cecilia hosts a Mandarin podcast about feminism, aptly named “The F Word.”

Can’t find Cecilia? She is likely with her newly adopted cat, Echo, playing games of hide-and-seek to which she did not agree or polishing her collection of souvenir pencils from her world travels.
