SMU School of Economics final year undergraduate Chen Sitong was featured in the Elite Education column of Oneness Magazine, a not-for-profit, quarterly lifestyle publication aiming to integrate new immigrants and local Singaporeans. Mr Chen, who is originally from Shandong, China, was hosted by Mr Lee Yong Siang and family. The Lees had joined the SMU Host Programme as a host family in 2009 and is one of the most supportive and active hosts. In the interview, Mr Chen spoke about the language and cultural challenges he faced trying to integrate into the local community, his experiences in Singapore, as well as how the various internship opportunities and overseas exchange programmes (provided by SMU) have benefited him immensely with cultural assimilation and immersion.
