At the beginning of the winter vacation, the entire College of the International Education (CIE) was celebrating the arrival of the Lunar New Year. On the morning of January 9, President Wu Tao, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President Tang Hongmei, Vice President Shen Guofang led a team, accompanied by the heads of the International Exchange Office, the College of International Education and the CIE faculties and staff, to visit the international teachers and students who stayed in the campus apartments during the winter vacation, and to send them New Year blessings and care.
"Happy New Year in the Year of the Rabbit, everyone!" "The university is your home, and the teachers are your relatives. You can tell us anytime when you have difficulties or problems." "I hope you have a happy, fulfilling and peaceful Spring Festival!" The university leaders came to the international students’ dormitory and carefully inquired about the holiday arrangements of the students to know their situation of study and life at campus. At the same time, they urged them to pay attention to safety, take good precautions against the epidemic, keep studying during the winter vacation, make exercise plans, and keep a balance between study and physical exercise.
After seeing the certificates of clinical skills competition and the epidemic prevention and control volunteers displayed by international students, President Wu Tao highly affirmed the hard work of international students, the aggressive attitude of practicing hard and the feelings of doctors who actively devote themselves to voluntary services in their spare time. He urged international students not to forget to tell their family members far away that they are safe and to spend a healthy and peaceful "Chinese Year" together.
The university leaders also entrusted the College of International Education to prepare rich, nutritious and delicious “Spring Festival Gift Packages" for international students.
Representatives of international students expressed their gratitude to the university leaders for their care and love. Where there is love, there is a home and SUMHS is their second home. They promised to abide by relevant regulations and requirements, make full use of the precious opportunities of studying in China, have great performance in studying professional knowledge, strive to improve Chinese proficiency and cross-cultural ability, and in the future will truly become a bond of friendship connecting the home country and China.
There are 13 international students, 3 foreign teachers and their family members living in our university during the winter vacation this year. The College of International Education will strictly follow the regulations on the management of foreign personnel, strengthen communication with international students and foreign teachers, and provide them with multi-faceted services to allow them experience the warmth of home and the strong atmosphere of the New Year, and ensure that they have a happy, comfortable, and secure Chinese New Year.
