To ensure smooth transition, this orientation was organized to prepare students for application of dormitory, visa and transfer student orientation, etc.

Director Chen congratulated our students for their success that came by with hard work and dedication.
• During the video conference, SJSU faculty/staff members welcomed the incoming students and answered parents' and students' various questions, including practicum, safety, course enrollment, dormitory application, etc.
• Our guest, Mr. Steve Arnold, made a point in telling students about internship and practicum and other important restrictions on SJSU campus, like drinking and smoking. With the support from SJSU, this orientation provided a lot of information for our students and parents and lessened their anxiety about going abroad. Students are now looking forward to going to SJSU, the next big step in life.
