International Program’s Meeting
Today is Sep.2,Monday,the first day of the semester.I attend the international program’s meeting at 9 o’clock.International Program Office has the meeting twice a week.One is on Monday,the other is on Wednesday.Po Hu host the meeting.Jeff ,Boyoung,Katherine Han Gao and I attended.
Firstly Po Hu appreciated every one with good jobs of International Students’ orientation.He hopes we can make good suggestion to the later orientation.Secondly he talked about three points on International Program.One is about formula International students’ checking in. When one international student arrive Lander,he should give his passport to the office and after being copied ,he can get back.He hopes to know clearly whether the international student has been arrived or not.Second is about English entrance testing.The English level of international studens will be known about clearly by testing.Third is about immigration regulation.Po showed the practice of Ball State University on line where he had worked before.I think it is hard working to do that .But if it is built,it will help students to adapt themselves to new surroundings.
It is the second time for me to attend this meeting.The first meeting I attend is about International students orientation,and this meeting is about International Program’s idea.I think this kind of department meeting is different from inland.It is idea’s sharing and discussion instead of assignment of specific working.At first I’m confused who will do these things and how to do it.But after talking with Han Gao,an undergraduate student working for the office as graduate assistent,I know what meeting here means.It is mainly for common view.Sometimes the leader’s idea may be negatived.That’s interesting.

The International Program Meeting About International Students Dinner
I am always think that I’m lucky to work with International Program Office.Po Hu,Jeff,Boyoung,Kathrin,Han Gao and I ,we are a team.Though I haven’t received the schedule of student affair office,I feel substantial every day.I can talk with each of them.They think me of one of them.I like to attend their meeting though sometimes I can’t understand what they are talking about completely.It offers me a good surrounding to exercise my hearing and a good chance of knowing what they will do.
Sep.5,Friday.I attended the meeting about International students dinner in the meeting room of our office.We welcomed two ladies from Business Development,one is interim CEO whose name is Heather Simmons Jones,the other is director of business development whose name is Catalina Valencia.
From the meeting,I knew that International Program Office would host an International students dinner.It will be a big dinner.We will invite Presidents,all of the International students here about 84,all of the friendly families and some companies of community and so on.It will be the second time for us to host such big dinner.I’m excited with that news.The two ladies and we discussed on the date,the place,the form,the activities of the dinner.From the meeting,I could feel that dinner must be filled with warm atmosphere ,be helpful to know about each other and unforgettable.The Business Department of Greenwood will give us a lot of financial support and introduce some of the companies to students.That’s great!Everyone especially I will expect that dinner.
Of course every one of International Program Office will spend a lot of effort on it.They are so kind to consider for the students.Every interenational student is lucky to study here. I also hope I can do my best to take part in the preparation working.

A Happy Party in Po’s House At the First Weekend of New Semester.
When I received Po’s e-mail,I could’t imagine that he wants to invite all of International Students to his new house.Nearly 45 persons are divided into two groups.Some are on Friday and the others are on Sunday.
Po is the Dean of International Program.He has been in America for 12 years.He has a six-year-old son.His wife and his son are still in Indiana now.He is very kindly to every student.When he meets students in the office,he will always ask students about their studies and lifes.He invites students to his house in order to know about students well.I’m lucky to meet him and help me a lot.
Qinlei,Haohui and I have been to Po’s house in Po’s car before other people.We needed to prepare the house for the dinner. It is a real big house.This is why more than ten students can play hide-and-seek in the room.I think some Chinese students wanted to making chafing dish.But it is difficult for us to make chafing dish.Po ordered some Chinese food from Chinese restaurant.After preparing for everything,some Korean students and Chinese students arrived in Boyoung’s ,Elizabeth ‘s and Han Gao’s car.There were two scholars just coming from Jiangxi Normal and Nanjing Xiaozhuang the day before yesterday with us.Students enjoyed the food and talked a lot.

The meeting of International Program:
pay more attention to International visiting scholars
Sep.9,Monday.We had International Program’s meeting at 9 o'clock.I just wanted to record something.
Five things were talked about during the meeting.One thing is the summary of the party of the last weedend.Po expressed his thanks to the members of International Program.Second is about policy and guide of visit study.The third is about the International students dinner.There will be a meeting about the discussion of details at the Partnership Alliance Office next week.The fourth point is about housing of several breaks.
From my point,what I’m interested in is about Inernational visiting scholars’ arrangement.This is the most important thing I pay attention to.From last week,the other two scholars arrived Lander.They are professors .One’s major is business and the other’s major is art.International Program is trying its best to help two scholars to connect the Dean of college.Po hopes to help them resolve the problem of auditing classes,spoken English and so on.He pointed that after scholars arriving,don’t let them feel no one know their having arrived and no one they can ask questions.That’s right.As one of them,I can feel what they feel.I can know what they expect.Today is Sep.11 when I received Pam’s e-mail for my following schedule.Then from next week,I will go to different departments.Hope that they can adap themselves to new surroundings.
Thanks a lot,International Program.It must be the home of all of the international students and scholars.

(Sep.16,Monday.)The meeting of International Program :
How to build a system of management of Internationg students
This was the fourth meeting I attend in International Program Office.Each of the meeting is a kind of summary or plan.There were five items talked in the meeting.
One thing is that there should be a meeting for all of the International students at least once a month.There have been three weeks since International students arrived.International Program has resposerbility of tutoring students of their studies and lifes.Academic success center will be invited to give some advice to International students.Studying abroad is a most important opportunity for students.They should know about the importance of academic.In fact it is very difficult for International students to gain the good marks.There are linguistic problems,basic problems and so on.I agree with that.Po hopes to build a system or service they can supply for International students.He put forward that he would talk academic reports with degree seeking students one by one.It is a very rare thing for a dean.
The second thing is that insurance problem.Po mentioned the accident .If one student is sick,he may not know what and how to do .Health Care in America is very expensive .A visit to the Emergency Room will cost you ,at minimum hundreds of dollars.International program should let students know they have the insurance.It’s true that we should take preventive measures.If we can do something before accident happens,a big thing will become smaller.I hope international students can know about the content of meeting and understand International Program’s kindness.
The third thing is about how to deal with students’ complain.From the beginning of the semester,there have been several things occurred in the International students.It may be one case ,but if we can’t pay attention to that,it will become common.Po pointed out International Program had responsibility of telling students how to deal with different culture and how to deal with different students.We talked about that.At last we gained the conclution.When you meet some problems with other students or other people,try to use different ways to resolve them.As a Chinese saying,you can’t change surrounding,but you can change yourself.Hope every people to cherish every moment.
The fourth thing is about roommate issue.The topic of how to respect to each other,how to respect was mentioned once more.International Program will consider to give some tips and some remind of that.
The last thing is about International students’ dinner.We all expect it!
With the growth of International students,there will be more problems than before.How to manage and educate these international students is a new topic for all of us.I think International Program has already had a responsibility as a counselor.
(Oct.2)International Program Meeting
When I write down this essay,it is Oct.17.Time goes so fast.If i don't record something,many things will be dim.Today I take out of my notebook.I think I should keep recording everything.
What was the Oct.2 International Program meeting about?
Our China National Day just passed.Po thanked us for organizing all of the activities in Student Center.He thought the activities were very successful.He express his personal appreciation.
After that,he mentioned the difference of American medical treatment because of Rockee's illness.He hoped our office should inform international students how they connect clinic,how to pay the bill and so on.We should remind our students of bringing their insurance cards all the time.Medical treatment is very expensive in America.
The third one was that how to make the e-mails from International Program office different.In fact ,we recieve a lot of e-mails of Lander everyday.Each department can send e-mail to every student.E-mail is the most important way to inform student.But with the day passing,fewer and fewer students check in e-mails.How to make students pay attention to is a problem.It reminded me that if I want to give information to students,I should make some special things with that.

My First Presentation in English
Oct.16,Wednesday.Today was an important day for me because I made a short presentation of my lander's life in the education class.This was the first time for me to do that in English.I thought it's a good opportunity of expressing my feeling and making students know you well.
Several days ago,Boyoung told me that she would have a presentation of the introduction of International Program.She wanted me to go with her and she hoped me to introduce my life in Lander.She said some American students want to make friends with our International students and scholars ,but they don't know how to deal with our international students.I accepted the invitation but I didn't know whether I could do a good job.I don't think my English is good but I don't want to lose this opportunity of excising my spoken English.The fact proved that I was right.After coming back from Disneyland,I finished my powerpoint .I would introduce my working in Shanghai Normal,my studying and working in Lander,how I talk with my partner of eye program,how i stay with Friendship host family and the advice of conmunication with international students and so on.
To my surprise,I saw my education teacher.I just realized some students are my classmate as 1/3 students in the classroom chose the same class as mine.I never felt nervous at that moment.After Boyoung's presentation,it's my turn.I didn't know how I made the presentation but I thought everything went well .After I finished my presentation,students gave me a warm applause.I knew I was succeeded.After class,several students congratulated to me and my professor did that,too.
Now I write it down and if there is any other chance,I will try it again.Life means to try everything and I should tell myself that I can do everything well.
Working on Chinese Brochure
Oct.18,Friday.I was happy to have the opportunity of working on Chinese brochure.
Several days ago,Po mentioned to have a Chinese brochure of International Program in the International meeting.It's a good way of showing what the international program is for people.We have a lot of introductions of Lander in English.But how to let Chinese know Lander's International program well is a problem.Chinese brochure can work well.
I think Han did a good job of that.He traslated the English introductions into Chinese.Po asked me to revise the Chinese translation.I was glad to accept this job.The Chinese brochure of International Program covered many things such as introductiong of majors,the way of application for studying in Lander and so on.Po,Han and I worked together and revised the brochure till 1930 .We all think it will be the best Chinese brochure .This working let me feel successful and know International Program well.
