Dr. Yu is a firm believer of residential college as an excellent platform for students to be engaged in experiential learning. Dr. Yu and his team aims to nurture “good persons,” and strives to cultivate four traits in CKLC students: Be sunny; Be honest; Be cooperative; and Be driven. To be sunny, students must have strong body and strong mind, be optimistic, positive, and compassionate; to be honest, students must behave honestly and strive to build a community of trust; to be cooperative, students must foster team spirit and take care of each other; and to be driven, student must work hard to continuously improve themselves and be humble enough to learn from others.

 

Residential College is where students learn to better understand and respect one another; RC experience is when students bond with new friends and advance themselves into the future world.
