Ever since the establishmentof Sino-American Pilot Class in 2013, the cooperation between Shanghai Industry& Commerce Foreign Language College and the Buffalo Niagara University,U.S.A. has become closer with each passing day. On July 10, 2014, ten studentsfrom the Department of Business went to Niagara University together with MissesLiu Yan and Ji Shu.


The six-week-long summercamp was held on the beautiful campus of the university. Niagara University issituated in the city of Buffalo, which lies in the western part of the State ofNew York and is at the junction of Lake Antario and Lake Erie. In addition toarranging a four-hour- long intensive study and practice of English every day,the University also included a colorful schedule of activities, which includedthe tour to look at the world-famous Niagara Waterfall and watch the dramawritten by William Shakespeare, the most outstanding literary giant of Britishliterature. All the students were very excited about the experience for theyhad improved their ability of applying English, but at the same time they wereable to understand better the American culture with their own eyes and ears.


This summer camp provided our students with a real experience in termsof study and life. By observing the overseas customs and learning about theschool environment of overseas universities, students have had some preliminaryexposure before they go abroad for further academic study in future. They haverealized that it is the globalization that requires the students to be familiarwith the traditional cultural knowledge, but more importantly, studentsthemselves should be ready to have the world perspective in their mind all thetime.  


The Department of Business holds that after the six-week-long summercamp, the students have not only improved their English but also become betterable to get along with others, live independently, build up their selfconfidence and enrich their own social experience, all of which will be vitalfor their personal development in future.
