MCM College: “Welcome to MCMC!” International Student Gathering
滿珍紀念書院：「MCMC歡迎您！」國際生聚會
On 6th September, 2023, Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau held a student gathering in Master’s Dining Room to warmly welcome a new cohort of international students from Brazil, France, Malaysia, Russia, Norway and Portugal. While having lunch together, Prof. Kwok-cheung Cheung, College Master, delivered a welcome speech and introduced the concept of Residential College Education. Then, Ms. Alice Hong, Resident Fellow introduced the functions of the Pastoral Care Support Unit and the support provided by the “Buddy Programme” to exchange students.
The “Buddy Programme” was launched in 2014 to enrich the exchange students’ learning experience at the University of Macau. The college pairs current students with their new “buddies” to help exchange students adapt and settle into their new surroundings. On the other hand, the “Buddy Programme” facilitates local students in developing a deeper understanding of different cultures and traditions beyond Macau.
As the international students introduced themselves, they also engaged in conversation and quickly forging new friendships. Resident fellows interacted with students to understand their needs and provide assistance. Finally, everyone raised their glasses and wished the new academic year a good start.
2023年9月6日，澳門大學滿珍紀念書院在院長用膳室舉辦學生聚會，熱烈歡迎來自巴西、法國、馬來西亞、俄羅斯、挪威、葡萄牙的新一批國際學生。在共進午餐的同時，書院院長張國祥教授致歡迎辭並介紹書院教育的理念。 隨後，書院導師洪盈惠女士介紹了牧關舍的功能以及「學伴計劃」為交換生提供的支援。
滿珍紀念書院的「學伴計劃」於2014年推出，豐富了交換生在澳門大學的學習體驗。 書院將現有學生與新「學伴」配對，目的是協助交換生適應並融入新環境。 另一方面，「學伴計劃」協助本地學生更深入地了解澳門以外的不同文化和傳統。
國際學生在自我介紹的同時，也積極交談，很快結下了新的友誼。 書院導師與學生互動，了解他們的需求並提供協助。 最後，大家舉杯祝愿新學年有一個好的開始。
