Newspaper Article

Article Glen Ellyn, IL- Chinese college student Rencheng Shu traveled halfway around the world to witness the Chicago Bears’ NFC Championship loss and a record snowstorm that dumped nearly 2 feet of snow on Glen Ellyn. But, he said, his trip was well worth it.

Shu, 21, a student majoring in electronic information and technology from Qujing, China, finished up a four-week internship earlier this month working in various departments of Glen Ellyn School District 41. His visit was sponsored by the Glen Ellyn-based Global Education Association, which brings over students and teachers for cultural exchange purposes. Since his internship began Jan. 16, he said he’s learned a lot culturally and professionally.
