Holiday Message from the Director, Phoebe You

Holiday seasons are my favorite. People pause their busy work schedules to enjoy the company of family and loved ones. This year will be remembered for many different reasons. For those of us in international education, it was an eventful year. We are grateful for those who advocate for international students. We are thankful for all of you in Buckeye Nation who support the China Gateway and our mission. Students who are taking online classes are finishing up the autumn semester. Alumni are adjusting to a fall season without game watch parties. But we all know -- as a Buckeye, we will come out stronger after COVID-19. In this very special time of the year, we wish everyone a happy, healthy and hopeful New Year on behalf of all the Buckeyes from the other side of the world!
