Alumnus reminisces about BGSU experience in 'China Scholars Abroad' article

Dr. Larry S. Su '99 recently had an article published in "China Scholars Abroad," a monthly magazine serving Chinese scholars studying abroad and foreign nationals studying in China, which describes his experience studying at BGSU from 1997-99, when he earned his master's in English and also taught freshman English composition.

Su praises the University's state-of-the-art learning and sports facilities, its dedication to quality in maintaining its infrastructure and in training its graduates, while describing the campus as "spacious, peaceful and beautiful."

"I applauded the University's mission to serve the public good since its founding over a hundred years ago and its increasing reputation as one of the best public universities in the United States," Su said. "I also reminisced about the years 1997-1999 when I (named Suocai Su) studied for my MA degree in English and taught freshman composition. I acknowledged the well-qualified and friendly professors such as William Coggin, Wallace Pretzer, Diana Pretzer, Richard Gebhardt, Donna Nelson-Beene and many others from whom I learned not only knowledge in English literature but also how to be a good scholar and human being."

"China Scholars Abroad,"《神州学人》in Chinese, started its first publication in 1987, its title calligraphed by Deng Xiaoping, China’s well-respected architect for reform and opening to the outside world.
