Dear Ms. Meng: On behalf of Meredith College, it is my pleasure to extend a formal invitation to one of Dongbei University’s professors, Ms. Li, to join us at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina USA as a visiting professor during the spring semester 2006 (January 8 through mid-June). Not only would this arrangement be an enriching experience for our students and faculty, it would further enhance Ms. Li’s growth and development for her teaching when she returns to Dongbei. We look forward to the continuing relationship between Dongbei University and Meredith College. If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me. My warm regards to you and your colleagues at Dongbei. Sincerely yours, Rosalind Reichard Vice President for Academic Affairs Open.
