博彩平台大全举办国际虚拟训练营
08/18/21
夏令营是几代美国家庭的主食，在博彩平台大全（Fort Hays State University）全球伙伴关系办公室（Office of Global Partnerships）的帮助下，夏令营走向了国际。 Global Partnerships coordinated with 博彩平台大全’s international partners and agents worldwide to organize international virtual summer camps. 该项目吸引了来自20多个国家的800多名学生报名参加。
According to Haley Williams, Program Specialist for OGP at 博彩平台大全, this summer’s virtual summer camps built upon the in-person experiences of international students during the past several years. “Due to the pandemic, we knew that international students would not be able to travel to Hays, so this necessitated a new virtual model. The outcome was that we attracted more students and generated more excitement about Fort Hays State.”
虚拟夏令营的目标是向未来的国际学生介绍博彩平台大全和海斯社区，建立他们在美国高等教育中取得成功的信心，并在某些情况下首次体验在线或虚拟学习。 最终目标是吸引潜在的国际学生申请和注册校园或在线课程。
虽然2020年的夏令营总体上是成功的，但威廉姆斯解释说，OGP从这次经历中学到了很多东西，并努力改进了这个模式。 虚拟营地允许博彩平台大全免费为参与者提供既有教育意义又有趣的体验。
威廉姆斯解释了今年营地是如何重组的，这使得比去年夏天有可能接触到更多的人。 “First, we created two-day information sessions for each partner and then met with one or two groups each week.” 今年有10个合作伙伴参与，营地需要在6月和7月分开进行。
Williams continued explaining how “on Wednesdays each week throughout July we did an ‘Event’ where we had community and campus members giving presentations.” 活动包括斯滕伯格自然历史博物馆的虚拟徒步之旅； 海斯镇； 博彩平台大全的学生宿舍； 以及一个关于美国节日和文化的演讲。 这些虚拟活动是虚拟训练营的新变化之一，它允许每个注册的人参与，同时减少了演讲者复制演讲所需的时间。
The final addition to this year’s virtual camp, one of the components missing from the previous in person camps, and which Williams stressed as something OGP wanted to incorporate, was the ability for the camp participants to share about their own lives and cultures. She said, “on Thursday’s we did what we called ‘Meet-ups.’ This is where we achieved an interactive cultural exchange. 整个夏天，我们要求学生们每周准备一张幻灯片，突出他们自己的文化、生活或国家的一个方面。 We split participants into breakout rooms making certain we had different cultures represented.”
由于参与者来自世界各地，夏令营每周举办两次见面会，见面会很快成为夏令营中最受欢迎的部分之一，每次见面会通常有80多名学生参加。
来自巴拉圭的博彩平台大全学生卢西亚娜·门多萨（Luciana Mendoza）与OGP一起工作，她认为，许多夏令营参与者最期待的是与人见面。 She explained how “they engaged with each other, with people from other countries that had similar interests, gained improvement in learning more English and learning more about American Education as well.” 营地工作人员尽可能多地记录了会议和会面。 无法参加会议的学生可以在方便的时候查看录音，让他们参与互动文化交流体验。
Work is already underway to plan the 2022 virtual summer camps experience as OGP will continue to use new technologies to advance the successes of this year’s virtual camps and meet-ups. 如果合作伙伴或代理表示感兴趣，计划还将包括在学年期间提供这些国际经验。
