Education internationalization resumes in Suzhou City University amid slowing pandemic

Ni Shi, a data engineer at Microsoft Asia-Pacific Technology Co., Ltd., returned March 26 to Suzhou City University as an alumnus to share his experience on the Alumni Day. It was the first offline event held by the School of International Exchange amid a slowing COVID-19 pandemic, representing a full resumption of education internationalization at SZCU. “Despite COVID’s impact on the internationalization of education, we kept moving, and will accelerate in this field,” said Deng Xiaoling, a teacher of School of International Exchange. Deng said SZCU has launched a brand activity series themed around “International Bridge” to prepare students for international education, including “Discover Suzhou” Online Chinese and Culture Program, and Cloud Exchange Week with BSU. “Suzhou City University will pursue win-win results based on international education platforms like Chinese-Foreign Cooperation programs and Sino-American CHEPD programs, and seek more international education opportunities for our students and staff so as to expand our global influence and achieve high-quality development with high-level international exchange,” said Gao Lei, vice-president of SZCU.
