"What kind of jobs can we do in China after graduation? Will the school provide us with some extra help in our future career? What's the vision of the school?"...... On the afternoon of November 30th, the first dean's afternoon tea event was held as scheduled in the cafe on the second floor of Fengxian campus. Chen Wei, executive vice dean of our college, and 12 representatives of international students from Russia, Uzbekistan, Colombia and other countries sat around the coffee table, savoring a mellow latte and talking about university life and cross-culture.
At the beginning, Dean Chen shared the globalization topic with international students. He pointed out that the globalization has turned our planet into a small village, enabling people of all ethnic groups to learn from each other, communicate with each other, and help each other. Today’s event is one of the beneficiary of globalization. Globalization has expanded the space of mankind, and we are running towards a better future.
Students from Russia, Colombia, Equatorial Guinea, and Niger introduced different interesting and exciting cultures with PPT and videos such as scenery, food, clothing, etc..
During the interactive exchange session, the students talked with Dean Chen about the study and life, internship and employment, campus facilities and other issues during the university. Chen gave patient and meticulous answers one by one and encouraged the students to actively plan their careers while completing their studies in China. Finally, due to the epidemic situation, the international students have been unable to return to the country for a long time. Therefore, the event specially prepared birthday cakes for the students to let them feel the warmth of home through the collective celebration.
The dean's afternoon tea event not only enabled students to better understand the overall development goals of the university and college, but also strengthened their expectations and confidence in the development of the university. In the follow-up work, the college will continue to provide precise services based on individual circumstances by listening to their voices, paying attention to their growth and improving the management and service quality of international students' education.
