Ladies and Gentlemen, Honored President Gorden and Dean Norman, Dear Lisa:
Today, We are gathered here. On behalf of my group and Department of Dalian Leadership Group for Cadre Training Education as well as in my own name, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the president Gorden, Dean Norman, Mrs. Lisa, and other faculty and staff involved in our training project and California State University-Fullerton.
Look back the last month, I am deeply grateful to your thoughtfulness, warm welcome and efficiency as well as your efforts for enabling my group to have such a good opportunity to study here, and for making us what we are today.
We all know: California State University-Fullerton is famous for preeminent teaching and research, the best qualities of faculty, and scholarly and creative activity as well as the beautiful scene.
I think we are proud of studying at California State University-Fullerton and we all are going to learn about new knowledge, new ideas and new insights.
I believe that with your and our efforts, we will establish close collaboration between California State University-Fullerton and Department of Dalian Leadership Group for Cadre Training and Education. As a Chinese proverb goes, Good beginning means near to success. I wish the collaboration a complete success.
Thanks a lot.
