，我很興奮，越來越多的學(xué)生正得到這樣的機(jī)會。中國目前是美國人留學(xué)的第五大熱門目的地。今天的美國，來自中國的交換生數(shù)量最多。盡管如此，太多的學(xué)生從來沒有這樣的機(jī)會，而一些有機(jī)會的學(xué)生則猶豫是否要抓住它。他們可能覺得留學(xué)只是有錢的學(xué)生或來自某類大學(xué)的學(xué)生的事?；蛘?，他們可能心里想，“嗯，這聽起來很有趣，但它在我的生活中真正有多大用處?”

hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our we believe that diversity makes our country

back in 2009, he announced the 100,000 strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of american students studying in this year, as we mark the 35th anniversary of the normalization of
