On the afternoon of September 19, 2023, the College of International Education of Shanghai Business School organized the orientation for new international students of 2023 in Fengxian Campus. The meeting was presided over by Dai Ying, the executive vice dean of the College of International Education, and all the staff of the International Students Office participated.
The executive vice dean, Dai Ying, first delivered a speech to welcome new comers to the big family of Shanghai Business School. She introduced the history, characteristics and development goals of SBS, and put forward ardent expectations for them all. She hoped that international students would cherish the opportunity of studying in SBS to learn more about professional knowledge and Chinese, actively participate in school activities, broaden their horizons and lay a solid foundation for future development.
Those new international students enter the gate of university and come to a strange city far away from their hometown. What they need to do first is to adapt to the new identity and be familiar with the new learning and living environment. Starting from the four dimensions of self-management, self-planning, active integration and active exploration, the staff of the International Students Office made a clear and in-depth introduction to scholarship evaluation management, teaching and educational administration management, living and accommodation management, visa processing and other matters in combination and helping them solve the doubts in study and life.
The orientation for foreign students aims to help them adapt to the change of study and life from high school to university. It will be useful for them to get used to the change of identity, integrate into campus life and start a new journey. In the follow-up, the International Students Office will arrange a series of class meetings to help international students suit themselves in study and life, know themselves comprehensively and objectively, and actively explore the development orientation.
