Debra Denzer, Director of Center for International Education, could only come for half of the trip to China and left us on day eight. She is picture above from left to right; in Tian'anmen Square with the Krebs, Heather Lucas and me, at the Great Wall with the group, and then at Jiaotong University with Dr. Crystal Garrett and Dr. Neal McCrllis listening to Liang Li, Vice Director of International Cooperation & Exchanges, point out the layout of the campus. Below are some departing words from Debra.
Debra wrote, "I’m packing to leave the group tomorrow and am really sorry to break short my part in this experience. It took a great deal of effort, cooperation, encouragement, and advocacy for us to bring this dream to fruition. I am sorry that I won’t be here to see the final days and experiences of the group. It has been a wonderful time of learning and each person has brought his/her gifts to the group. Some make us laugh, some make us think, some keep us on time, some give us courage. Together we have been a community and this is a wonderful by product of the program. I have really enjoyed getting to know each person and hope that they will continue to write in the blog and that they will share the understanding and amazement and curiosity that has been inspired by this glimpse of China. I’ve learned a lot and thank everyone."
