I was fortunate to be able to go to the Shanghai Expo 2010 before classes started for autumn 2010. I think most of you might be interested in the U.S.A Pavilion at the expo. The USA Pavilion's theme at Shanghai Expo 2010 is "Rising to the Challenge." It tells the story of the American spirit of perseverance, innovation, and community-building in a multi-dimensional, hi-tech presentation. The Pavilion presents the U.S. as a place of opportunity and diversity where people come together to change their communities for the better.
I am so excited to see the following news from President Gee's website: http://president.osu.edu/fromwhereistand/06_29_2010.php
The View in Shanghai
I write from Shanghai and although I have been here many times, I am struck yet again by the city's complexity, intensity, and beauty. I am in China for several days, meeting with university and business leaders, government officials, students, alumni, and friends. This city is my first stop, and my agenda is a full one.
