CUNY Thomas Tam Scholarship 2019 Recipient
Ms. Biling Chen, a Chemistry major, plans to conduct a weekly volunteer workshop to assist newly-arrived Asian international students at Queensborough Community College with guidance on how to navigate American and college life, and offer tutoring for science, math and English courses. The workshop will be conducted in English to help students practice their speaking skills, and to foster more social connections on and off-campus. Participants will also visit local retirement homes to provide company to Asian immigrant seniors who may feel isolated.
