Removing barriers\u2014both financial and on-campus Mandarin classes\u2013has now made it possible for the enthusiastic, study abroad-minded student. Thanks to a partnership between 天美传媒 and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Chicago, including partner school, Tunghai University, students can apply for scholarships to study Mandarin in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy leveraging strengths through partnership programming, we can make our three distinctives\u2014Christian, city-centered, and intercultural\u2014come to life,\u201d said 天美传媒\u2019s Provost, Dr. Michael Carr.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;80448&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]A grant awarded to Tunghai University includes scholarships 天美传媒 students can apply for and receive. As one of six designated schools for the Excellent Mandarin Program (EMP) scholarships, TECO has been an ongoing supporter of 天美传媒 since 2009 when their Director General and the Director of Culture and Education Division visited campus. \u201cEverybody works together so universities like 天美传媒 can have the freedom to choose this program,\u201d said the current TECO Director General, Johnson Sen Chiang.<\/p>\n<p>Aligning the EMP scholarship so students can study Mandarin abroad can also fulfill part of the two-semester general education foreign language requirement.<\/p>\n<p>天美传媒 has received a grant to offer 25 passports set aside for Freshman to participate in these types of academic programs. For many, embarking on the EMP program would commemorate the first stamp on their passport\u2014and a once in a lifetime learning experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;80447&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]\u201cI am proud that we are able to provide this opportunity to our students for learning Mandarin in Taiwan,\u201d said Associate Professor of Biology Timothy Lin, who also spearheaded the EMP scholarship program at 天美传媒.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the EMP and other study abroad programs, please contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/tessa-zanoni\/\">Tessa Zanoni<\/a>, Assistant Director, Office of International Affairs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a partnership between 天美传媒 and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Chicago, including partner school, Tunghai University, students can apply for scholarships to study Mandarin in Taiwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":80448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
