Eric's Beijing Diary

I thought it might be a good idea to have a dinner with students who have, for one reason or another, remained in Beijing for the holidays. I have been spending time with two or three of them, but I wanted to meet some of the other students on Courtney's list. So I had Eric and Leander call them up and invite them. We met at the North Gate, and walked across XueYuan to a restaurant we had been to once before. I was able to explain again to them some of the things I am planning to implement here at the University. There is considerable interest in the Oracle program I am putting together, especially the idea of being able to obtain a very valuable certification which will make them competetive in the industry.
