Recently, Lulu Dong<\/strong>, a dual degree<\/a> graduate student from China, was walking across campus at Florida International University (FIU) and President Mark B. Rosenberg<\/strong> came over to say hello.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a short but very nice talk,\u201d Dong said. \u201cHe asked about my courses. He is very kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosenberg recognized Dong because she was among 23 dual degree students from China who were guests at a campus luncheon and meeting in November. The events were at the invitation of Rosenberg and Joyce J. Elam<\/strong>, executive dean of the College of Business Administration.<\/p>\n

Mark B. Rosenberg, FIU president and Joyce J. Elam, executive dean of the business school, had lively interchanges with students from universities in China who are now in FIU\u2019s Master of International Business program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The students, who arrived in August, are earning a Master of International Business (MIB), with one student earning a Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MSMIS), along with a graduate degree from one of three Dual Degree network partner universities in China: Tianjin Foreign Studies University, Shandong Economic University or Qingdao University.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Rosenberg had been graciously received by the Chinese universities this past summer, so it was natural for him to want to extend hospitality to the students,\u201d said Anna Pietraszek<\/strong> (EMBA \u201906), director of graduate admissions and recruitment.<\/p>\n

Following the luncheon, Rosenberg welcomed the students, saying he was “thrilled that so many students from China want to be at FIU.\u201d He asked about their time on campus and answered questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Rosenberg cares about our lives and studies,\u201d said Zhiyuan Xing. <\/strong>\u201cI enjoyed his sense of humor. He\u2019s very friendly, not like the college presidents in some Hollywood movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we have always enjoyed having a very diverse, international group of students in our graduate programs, we have never had more than a few students from Chinese universities,\u201d Elam said. \u201cOver the last few years, we have made a commitment to develop partnerships with a number of leading Chinese business schools and were thrilled to welcome this initial group of 23 students associated with our partner schools. We look forward to continuing to have a large group of Chinese students in our graduate programs in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dual Degree programs growing in strength, importance. <\/em><\/p>\n

Forty international students are currently working on dual degrees in FIU\u2019s Chapman Graduate School of Business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presence of President Rosenberg sent a strong message that dual degree students are a very important component of the graduate program,\u201d said Sumit K. Kundu<\/strong>, MIB faculty director. \u201cWe hope to further solidify relationships with Chinese universities and build strong relationships with Indian business schools. There is a huge demand for good business education in these two nations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
