Students from the Minzu University of China in Beijing and Tajen Univeristy of Taiwan visited University of Saint Joseph as part of the 2018 Ethnic Minority Culture Week, which is scheduled this year from May 2nd to May 9th 2018. The delegation of students represented 10 different ethnic minorities from Mainland China and 5 ethnic minorities from Taiwan. The welcoming committee included USJ Rector Professor Peter Stilwell, Vice Rector Professor Vincent Yang and Registrar Professor Jenny Lao-Phillips, whom explained the long tradition of USJ in Macau and historical ties with Mainland China and Taiwan. In addition, Professor Alan Baxter, Dean of Faculty of Humanities extended his invitation for students to join us for their studies at USJ in the future.
