A Warm Luncheon with the President: Dr. Chuang Meets with College Foreign Faculty
午餐的約會: 國際學院外籍老師和校長的午餐聚會
On November 7th, 2023, the President of the University, Dr. Chuang Hwei-Lin, hosted a delightful luncheon, providing an opportunity for meaningful interaction and engaging conversation with 7 of the College's foreign faculty members. The event allowed the President and these College international educators to have a fruitful exchange of ideas and information over a delightful meal.
During the luncheon, several foreign faculty members shared their perspectives on how to further enrich the academic environment. Among the ideas discussed, Dr. Adam Wilson expressed conveyed a strong interest in connections with local companies in the field of biology such as the cosmetics manufacturing industry which can be a means of captivating students' interest and expanding their horizons.
Dr. Elena Yakovleva expressed a keen interest in assisting with student recruitment efforts. However, she raised a valid concern regarding the predominantly Chinese content of recruitment materials. This language barrier was identified as a challenge, hindering foreign faculty members from understanding and actively participating in the recruitment process.
As a follow up suggestion, Dr. Philipp Fluri noted that the school's website might need some refinements. He suggested highlighting key recruitment information and emphasizing frequently asked questions (FAQ) for prospective students. Additionally, Dr. Bertha Du-Babcock proposed to incorporate images of foreign faculty members into recruitment presentations as a means of underscoring the college's dedication to internationalization.
These valuable discussions during the luncheon have opened up exciting possibilities for improvements in the academic environment both to the College and the School. The ideas and feedback provided by our College foreign faculty members are under careful consideration, with the aim of bolstering our global perspective and improving academic quality.
2023 年 11 月 7 日,本校校長莊博士舉辦了一場愉快的午餐會,提供了一個與學院七位外籍教師進行有意義的互動和引人入勝的對話的機會。此次活動讓莊校長和學院的國際教育工作者在愉快的用餐過程中進行了富有成效的思想和資訊交流。
在午餐會上,幾位外籍教師分享了他們對如何進一步豐富學術環境的看法。其中,Adam Wilson 博士表示非常有興趣與當地生物領域的公司(如化妝品製造業)建立聯繫,以吸引學生的興趣並拓展他們的視野。
Elena Yakovleva 博士表示非常有興趣協助招生工作。然而,她對於招生材料中以中文為主的內容提出了合理的關注。這種語言障礙被認為是一種挑戰,妨礙了外籍教師理解並積極參與招生過程。
Philipp Fluri 博士在後續建議中指出,學校的網站可能需要一些改進。他建議突出關鍵的招生資訊,並強調針對未來學生的常見問題 (FAQ)。此外,Bertha Du-Babcock 博士建議在招生簡報中加入外籍教職員的圖像,以強調學院對國際化的貢獻。
午餐會上這些寶貴的討論,為學院和學院改善學術環境開啟了令人振奮的可能性。我們正在仔細考慮學院外籍教師提供的想法和反饋,目的是加強我們的全球視野和提高學術品質。
