Mr. Lavin expressed his heart-felt gratitude to the warm welcome by GDUFS leaders. He spoke highly of GDUFS internationalized position and broad horizons which he believed, are beneficial to the cultivation of future leaders. When informed that apart from the majors of 13 foreign languages, GDUFS also launched whole English classes in non-language majors such as journalism and economies, Mr. Lavin was deeply impressed by its large scale compared with projects of the same kind in American universities.
Boasting accomplishments in business management and administration, Mr. Lavin happily accepted Mr. Sui invitation to visit GDUFS in the future and share his ideas with students from the MBA center and Law School. He also answered some of Mr. Sui questions about foreign teacher s unwillingness to come to teach in China despite their strong desire for academic communication.
