USCPFA- South Bay
Dear
Friends and Directors of International Global Studies,
There
is a strong desire in our Bay Area Community today to learn more about foreign
cultures and promote cross-cultural understanding and relationships.
USCPFA-South Bay Chapter focuses on US-China - particularly People to People’s
Friendship and Bonding.
We
believe that Education and Services to foreign students and visitors are
especially important, and
we wish to work with all our local Schools, Colleges, and Universities, to see
if we can support
each
other in this effort.
Early
this year we started a number of Public Lectures by noted experts– please see
attachments. We
recently also connected with a group of students at Stanford University from
China, and learned
from them what kind of support they wish to receive from our community. They
actually also inquired
about what they can contribute in return. One comment registers in our mind deeply
is that they
found themselves somewhat isolated in an Academic Island all these years. They are very interested in engaging the
larger community.
We
have also found that our public lectures have been very well received so far.
This is an area where
perhaps we all can collaborate when appropriate. I hope I can interest you and
your colleagues involved in International Student Programs to meet with me and
my colleagues in the near future to discuss
this idea further. Please provide the
information below if interested :
Name
School Title
Phone
Number(s)

Please
let me know if you think of other persons whom I should contact. Thank you !
