Recently, the 2011 Saint Martin's University Summer School was held successfully completed. Over 40 SMU students joined this summer school program. This program mainly includes the courses of business learning, visiting the local government and enterprises, home stay activities, visiting the renowned American universities as well as business practicing activities with American students, etc.
By participating in the program, the students had improved their English communication capacity, had an in-depth experience of the local customs, cultural practices, had personal experience and feelings of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures and expanded their horizons. Our students were also invited to attend the Tenth Anniversary of Sino-US Cooperative Education Programs grandly hosted by the Saint Martin's University. The good manner and energetic spirit of our students left a deep impression to the Saint Martin's University, local businesses and residents.
This summer school in America has not only provides students an opportunity to practice but also promoted the active interaction between the two universities, which served as a foundation for their further cooperation. Up to this year, Saint Martin's University has successfully held 8 summer school programs for SMU students.
