Quote: I'm looking forward to this trip as a means of learning about business in today's global economy. I'm also looking forward to learning about how Chinese Universities handle student issues such as shared governance and if these Universities have student governments such as our own. Finally, I am excited to represent Metro State College in an international setting.
