I'm excited and running around like mad trying to get ready for departure! However, I thought you might like to know more about our trip. So, below are some words from Debra Denzer, the director of the Center for International Education at GPC.
"This two week faculty/staff development seminar to the People’s Republic of China will focus on the incredible juxtaposition of the ancient and modern in 21st century China. As the oldest continuous world culture, China offers unparalleled examples of the development of human civilization. As a 21st century nation, it also embodies the opportunities and challenges of a growing economic giant. The program is designed as an introduction for non-expert faculty/staff who are committed to increasing their hands-on knowledge and understanding in order to pass that on to our students through curriculum, co-curriculum, and cross-cultural understanding. The itinerary includes visits to both ancient and modern sites and to universities with which there are potential and existing partnerships. A highlight of the program is a visit to Nanjing Normal University while GPC students are on campus for the summer study abroad program."
