Bertha L. Wise, a Professor of English, Coordinator of Multi-Divisional Programs Oklahoma City Community College and Nina A.Lyulkun, an Associate Professor at Khmelnitskiy National University, Ukraine have arranged the students' meeting online via Skype. Students were supposed to have found some background information about Ukraine in preparation since most had no prior knowledge.
Ukrainian students were excited to meet American peers to get acquainted and communicate for a little while. The day before the meeting, the tech support people (Mr.Tim) wished to run a test connection in advance, just to see how it would all work. Everything was ready to start.
Vitalina Dunets, a 3-d year student of Finance, was the luckiest of all to talk to the group of students from Oklahoma City Community College. We were happy to see our national embroided towel on the table. We all are very much grateful to dear Prof. Bertha Wise and students for the decorations made in Ukrainian style.
We all hope to arrange more meetings in the nearest future and answer and ask more questions about our countries to make our students feel closer and aware about similarities and differences of our cultures.
Your comments here more than welcome.
