Reflecting on this past Spring semester, we want to highlight our last heritage month reception. On April 22, 2015, the Multicultural & InternationalStudent Programs Office (MISPO) held the reception to celebrate the 2015 Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
Dr. Ying Qiu, Director of Asian Center at Hofstra
University, was this year’s key note speaker.
She shared her experience in the past 17 years in different countries
and fields. Her speech touched on two
different cultures that influence large populations in Asia – Confucianism and
Buddhism. She shared her father’s story
to tell the audiences “Education can change people’s life.” She also shared her experience of her 1st
day in Thailand about the kindness of the Thai people. At the end, she encouraged everyone to take
advantage of all the diversity programs offered by Hofstra to learn more
diversity. It will benefit everyone’s
life in today’s global world.
