Gao Xiangren, a student at Fort Hays State University’s partner university Sias International University, China, was one of the winners of the “Star of Outlook English Talent Competition.”
Xiangren, a global business English major, was one of the 500 million competitors nationwide to enter the competition. Only 119 competitors competed in the Beijing finals.
“Star of Outlook” is an annual nationwide competition that provides a platform for English learners to showcase their speaking ability. The aim of the competition is to “nurture interest, boost confidence, demonstrate talent and set an example.”
Sias International University is the first solely American-owned university in Central China. Affiliated with Zhengzhou University as well as Fort Hays State University of Kansas, it was developed and designed in response to the most current educational demands.
