I received a warm welcome and, with the help of the people at the Boyer Center, I soon got in touch with appropriate College departments and faculty. My work here is going on very smoothly. Messiah College is a beautiful living and learning environment. The students work hard and the faculty members are responsible and friendly. The college management attaches great importance to students' studies and their character development.
American students think aloud and respond actively to their professor's questions.
In China, students usually sit quietly, listening and taking notes all through the class. The Boyer Center provides a good place to study American education because Dr. Boyer left such a rich legacy for us to explore. Dr. Glenn Bucher, Executive Director of the Center, invited my participation in most activities of the Seminar. The Boyer Center made a very elaborate plan so as to let the Chinese presidents learn and experience as much as possible. The Seminar included eighteen sessions on various topics such as Institutional Governance, Roles and Responsibilities of a College President, Fund Raising, Academic Governance, Faculty Development, and so on.
