International Hospitality Programs

Fall around Charlottesville is one of the prettiest times of the year. At least, that is the assessment of two Chinese professors. Dong Chunyu (on the left), visiting scholar from Bejing Normal University, and Zhang Zhenhua (on the right), visiting professor from Yunnan University, and I took an excursion into the countryside to photograph the beautiful fall colors. Given the shortage of rain this year, I was afraid the colors might not be so vibrant, but all three of us were pleased with what we saw. It was a special joy for me to be able share this aspect of America with visiting friends.
