Glen Ellyn, ILChinese 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 Ellynbased 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.
