Semester-abroad program immerses students in vibrant Shanghai

Julia Marsala (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�14) is from a small farm town in Pennsylvania, so when she stepped into the megalopolis of Shanghai, with its more than 23 million people, she felt a little overstimulated, a little overwhelmed.

 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The sheer number of people on the streets 카지노 게임 컬렉션� it was nothing I카지노 게임 컬렉션�d ever seen. It was culture shock, but not in a bad way,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The city and China in general forces you out of your comfort zone, and when you do that, you learn a lot about yourself.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ms. Marsala was one of 10 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students who studied in China last fall as part of the Semester in Shanghai program, which was for the first time, after a transfer from the Department of Global Development Studies (DEVS). DEVS established the Semester in Shanghai program with Fudan 카지노게임사이트 in 2005 and it has since been recognized by the Chinese government as a Model Bilingual Education Program.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Under the LLCU, the program is accessible to a larger group of students across many disciplines,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Professor James Miller (Religious Studies), coordinator of the program. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It really is a chance for students to experience this rapidly changing country, beyond what they see in the news. China and the decisions it makes over the next few decades will have a huge impact on the world, and it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s vital that this generation of students both experiences the country first-hand and understands its history and philosophy.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
