Johns Hopkins University Delegates Visit NTNU
<p><font face="Arial">Staff Writer</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">A group of 12 Political Science major graduate students from Johns Hopkins University arrived at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) and shared their first-day observation of Taiwan with NTNU students at a roundtable event, held by the Office of International Affairs (OIA), this noon.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Ji Yongyong, who originally came from China, said that he has been in town for only one day and it would be difficult for him to come up with real comments. But he would expect more communication and interaction between the Taiwan Strait in the future.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">During the roundtable event, while many of these Johns Hopkins students mentioned that they would be curious about Taiwanese people’s cold and “it-does-not-concern-me” attitude toward the election, NTNU students said that the younger generation in Taiwan actually cares more about finance, education and family related issues instead of politics itself.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">These Johns Hopkins delegates would continue their schedule by visiting National Chengchi University and National Sun Yat-sen University after today’s stopping by NTNU. In addition, they will also have chances to meet with delegates from both the Chinese Nationalist Party and the Democratic Progressive Party. Their trip to Taiwan will be completed after the election day and they will be returning to the U.S. on Jan. 13.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Located in Maryland, Johns Hopkins was ranked as the 14th national university within the first tier by the 2008 USNews.com’s America’s Best Colleges. <br />
