Upon Lin's triumphant return to Taiwan on Tuesday (Aug. 13), the Ministry of Education's Sports Administration said she will serve as an ambassador to help promote a national anti-bullying campaign, per China Times. In the coming semester, Lin will also serve as an assistant professor at Chinese Culture University’s Department of Physical Education, where she will teach boxing and specialized sports training.

Wang Tzu-chi (王子奇), the university's president, said Lin's gold medal is Taiwan’s first Olympic boxing gold medal and that she is the fifth Olympic medalist from the university. Wang said she joined the faculty in the Department of Physical Education and will begin her doctoral studies in August.
