Prof. Chu teaches Design at Sichuan University's University Immersion Program

Prof. Hsiao-Yun Chu returned to Sichuan University (SCU) in Chengdu, China to teach a short course on Design and Society to 130 students in a variety of majors as part of SCU's University Immersion Program. "It is a pleasure and an honor to be invited back to this prestigious school," notes Prof. Chu. "Teaching and learning across languages and cultures can provide new opportunities, insights, and understandings, not only for students but also for myself. I would especially like to thank my hosts Prof. Zhao Chengqing and Prof. Lu Miao in the Arts College for their warm welcome, as well as my student assistants Alyssa and Aura who kept everything running smoothly. Chengdu is a wonderful place to visit--for the food, for the pandas, but most of all for the people."

Sichuan University is a highly respected research institution serving almost 50,000 students and is the top-ranked university in Southwestern China, comprising over 30 colleges or schools in a wide variety of disciplines.
