Staff Spotlight: Hui Chen
Hui Chen has served at ESF for nearly five years as the Coordinator of International Student and Scholar Services, working closely with students participating in ESF's program with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT). The BUCT-ESF partnership is a "3+1 program" that provides for students to study three years at BUCT before finishing their undergraduate degrees in bioprocess engineering at ESF. This past academic year, ESF hosted 10 students from China. Not only does Hui assist students with the logistics of coming to ESF, but she helps them get settled into the Syracuse community and advises them during their year abroad.
When class of 2022 students were asked what they enjoyed most about the program, one specifically mentioned Hui's impact: "Hui helped me a lot in life. She allowed me to quickly adapt to being abroad." Hui is known among her students for organizing programs and trips, in addition to having excellent cooking skills!
As an immigrant herself, she's proud to serve as a mentor to others going through a similar process. "I have been in their shoes," Hui said, "so I want to do whatever I can to make it easier for all of them."
Thank you for your service, Hui!
