Other Experience and Information | I received a 4-year Admission Scholarship (2019-2023) for my undergraduate studies in UIC, which was awarded to students performing at the top 10% in each academic programme. I used to work as a research assistant for Dr. Song Ge (UIC), who is a fabulous scholar primarily specializing in translation theories, Chinese culture in translation, and cosmopolitan translation in urbanscape. Besides my academic experience, I had a short experience of also an administrative intern in the Student Affairs Office of Academy of Continuing Education, UIC, responsible for assisting the management of the intern team and the students’ accommodation and teaching arrangements. |
