From June 8 to June 10, the School of Life Sciences and the Georgia Gwinnett College conducted a joint field internship activity. Six instructors including two American teachers Mark A. Schlueter and Fengjie Sun and 34 undergraduates including 20 American students participated in the event.
Before the internship, Professor Mark A.Schlueter, the American leading teacher, gave an academic report titled "Using Wild Bees to Increase Agriculture Yield" in conjunction with the relevant contents of the internship. After that, the Chinese leading teacher Wang Haitao conducted a detailed introduction of relevant matters needing attention of the field practice in Zuo Jia. During the internship, teachers and students from both sides conducted internship activities on the theme of bird behavior observation and rodent diversity survey. Finally, the two sides signed a joint field internship agreement and conducted full exchanges on relevant internship content and teaching models.
This international joint field internship program is one of the important measures for the college to cultivate biological talents that are in line with international standards. It not only expands students' international perspective but also enhances students' international exchange and cooperation capabilities. It also helps NENU to strengthen the exchange and cooperation with the international colleges. In the future, the School of Life Sciences will continue to expand students' international exchanges and joint field Internship activities, and provide a platform for students' growth and development.
