Visiting professor from China arrives Friday
The university is pleased that this year’s visiting faculty member, Liu Shengmin from Wuhan University in China, was finally able to get his visa and is expected to arrive in Newberg on Friday, Jan. 25.
Shengmin is married and teaches English in the School of Foreign Languages at Wuhan. Along with teaching, he is the supervisor of postgraduate students in linguistics. He previously was a visiting scholar at Australian Maritime College and Middle Tennessee State University.
Professor Shengmin will be teaching a course in Chinese language and culture. In addition, he is available for guest speaking in other classes. Faculty members will be informed if he has topics he would prefer to address. He also may want to sit in on some other classes.
We are grateful to Dennis and Janet Hagen for hosting him. Please help make him welcome.
