近日，香港中文大學(xué)（深圳）春季學(xué)期校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)與國(guó)際生的Zoom夜話(huà)活動(dòng)順利舉行。近200位國(guó)際學(xué)生和家長(zhǎng)與副校長(zhǎng)朱世平教授、協(xié)理副校長(zhǎng)顧陽(yáng)教授以及教務(wù)處（RO）、資訊科技服務(wù)處（ITSO）、職業(yè)規(guī)劃與發(fā)展處（CPDO）和國(guó)際學(xué)者學(xué)生服務(wù)處（ISSSO）的老師們聚會(huì)云端，大家圍繞著國(guó)際學(xué)生關(guān)注的相關(guān)話(huà)題展開(kāi)討論。ISSSO主持了本次活動(dòng)，并在會(huì)前收集了同學(xué)們關(guān)注的問(wèn)題。朱校長(zhǎng)首先對(duì)長(zhǎng)期堅(jiān)持網(wǎng)上上課的同學(xué)們表達(dá)了親切的問(wèn)候，并與顧陽(yáng)教授、各職能部門(mén)負(fù)責(zé)人及學(xué)生代表一道對(duì)學(xué)生們提出的問(wèn)題給予解答。

2020年初一場(chǎng)突如其來(lái)的新冠疫情改變了我們的生活，這場(chǎng)席卷全球的新冠大流行至今仍然影響著我校國(guó)際學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)和生活方式。迄今為止，國(guó)際本科學(xué)生中只有13人回到了學(xué)校并參與正常的校園生活，受疫情期間的入境限制，絕大多數(shù)國(guó)際學(xué)生一直滯留海外，不少大一國(guó)際生已經(jīng)在網(wǎng)上遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)習(xí)了8個(gè)月至一年有余。在此期間，大學(xué)主管人員對(duì)網(wǎng)上遠(yuǎn)程上課的同學(xué)們非常關(guān)心，朱世平副校長(zhǎng)多次組織各個(gè)學(xué)生服務(wù)部門(mén)聽(tīng)取同學(xué)們的反饋，解決同學(xué)們提出的問(wèn)題。ISSSO老師也在國(guó)際學(xué)生微信群里隨時(shí)為同學(xué)們答疑解惑。這次的Zoom夜話(huà)活動(dòng)是朱校長(zhǎng)又一次組織各個(gè)學(xué)生服務(wù)部門(mén)與國(guó)際學(xué)生們的大型網(wǎng)上對(duì)話(huà)活動(dòng)。

在本次Zoom夜話(huà)活動(dòng)中，副校長(zhǎng)朱世平教授首先向同學(xué)們介紹了大學(xué)的二期校園建設(shè)，分享了疫情期間大學(xué)的發(fā)展情況。他接著說(shuō)：“國(guó)際化是我們這所大學(xué)的重要品牌，我們非常重視國(guó)際學(xué)生在校期間的學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)和文化交流。雖然新冠疫情在深圳乃至整個(gè)中國(guó)都得到了有效控制，校園教學(xué)和生活也在很大程度上恢復(fù)了正常，但是沒(méi)有廣大國(guó)際學(xué)生的回歸和在校園的直接參與，我們的校園生活是不完整的！一旦入境限制放松，我們將在第一時(shí)間幫助同學(xué)們返回校園！”

同學(xué)們對(duì)大學(xué)主管人員和各個(gè)職能部門(mén)負(fù)責(zé)人參加本次Zoom夜話(huà)活動(dòng)報(bào)以積極的回應(yīng)。他們提出的問(wèn)題包括入境、隔離、疫苗政策，以及網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)期間的實(shí)驗(yàn)課，混合模式教學(xué)，國(guó)際畢業(yè)生離校，科研、實(shí)習(xí)、就業(yè)和升學(xué)機(jī)會(huì)等，朱校長(zhǎng)、顧教授和與會(huì)的各職能部門(mén)負(fù)責(zé)人與同學(xué)們進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的討論并一一給予解答。朱校長(zhǎng)強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō):大學(xué)會(huì)持續(xù)為國(guó)際生入境后的隔離提供支持，并為國(guó)際畢業(yè)生通過(guò)網(wǎng)上參加畢業(yè)典禮和遠(yuǎn)程辦理離校手續(xù)提供方便。數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)學(xué)院大二學(xué)生Richard Cornelius分享了他為教授做研究助理的體會(huì)，經(jīng)管學(xué)院大四學(xué)生Isra Ahmed介紹了她在深圳參加校外實(shí)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷。兩位同學(xué)鼓勵(lì)同學(xué)們要積極主動(dòng)應(yīng)對(duì)疫情期間的學(xué)習(xí)和生活方面的挑戰(zhàn)。

通過(guò)這次Zoom夜話(huà)活動(dòng)，同學(xué)們?cè)俅渭橙×藢氋F的信息和心得。一方面，學(xué)生們提出的問(wèn)題得到了解答并獲得了諸多方面的建議，另一方面，分管學(xué)生工作的大學(xué)主管人員和學(xué)生服務(wù)部門(mén)也對(duì)世界各地學(xué)生在網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)期間所遇到的困難有了更進(jìn)一步的了解。

我們期待世界各地的國(guó)際學(xué)生能夠早日回到我們神仙湖畔的美麗校園。

I'm very grateful for the directors and university administrators who have invested their time in answering international students’ questions and concerns. As a freshman who never had the chance to go to campus, this meeting gives me assurance and comfort knowing that the university is trying their best to provide us with a better education despite the circumstances.

I would like to thank Prof. Zhu, Prof. Gu, and the other university directors for arranging this important meeting. Not only that our questions and concerns were answered, this meeting also brought a lot of good news regarding the progress that the university has made. It has not been easy for all of us, yet this meeting has shown that the university has been giving their best to help us during these uncertain times.

It's nice to have a support system from the university. It has been a hard time coping up through online learning, but I'm super glad that the university is very open to our concerns, and has been very supportive in resolving our issues. This proves that even when international students are in a minority group, we are still well taken care of.

I really appreciate the university's efforts to stay connected with international students who are having to study online. I am glad to have had a chance to share my internship experience in Shenzhen during the Zoom meeting and to guide my juniors in finding their own internship opportunities. It was a bittersweet moment to see my friends that I miss deeply at the meeting.
