Greetings from the China Gateway director
|
 The end of the year is always a busy time for the China Gateway. We have visitors from the College of Nursing, Fisher College of Business, Moritz College of Law, College of Education and Human Ecology and College of Engineering. These visits have continued to develop Ohio State's reputation as a leading flagship national and international institution.
As an Ohio State office located overseas, we have always been here to support and strengthen the Buckeye alumni connection in the greater China area. Our Hong Kong alumni club was established in November by a group of enthusiastic board members. This football season we celebrated beating that team up north and our Chinese alumni were even featured in ESPN.
Although 2016 is coming to an end, our excitement continues to grow because of the great happenings here in China and around the globe.
I cannot wait to see what 2017 holds for the China Gateway. At the same time, I cannot express enough heartfelt thanks to you for your support. Wish you all a very happy holiday. Go Bucks!
Sincerely,
Phoebe You

Moritz College of Law pays annual trip to China

Laura Fernandez, assistant dean for international graduate affairs at the Moritz College of Law, visited China to form new partnerships, reconnect with alumni and promote programs available to international students and faculty.
Fernandez spoke to audiences about opportunities to study or research at Ohio State, including receiving a master of law as a foreign lawyer, participating in the American law and language program or in the visiting scholars program.
During her stay, Phoebe You, Moritz alumna and China Gateway's director, accompanied Fernandez. Together they presented at universities in Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chong'qi and Wuhan.
