Letter to the Editor
In response to the thoughtful letter by Jordan Elkins about his experiences at Duke Kunshan University, I am delighted that he has had an excellent academic experience, improved his Chinese and travelled extensively in China. At the same time, his letter provides insight into some of the challenges faced by the first DKU students during the past several months. Even so Jordan and his classmates have brought great energy and creativity to our first semester, certainly shaping the student culture of DKU for many semesters to come. Most notably, everyone has been remarkably flexible regarding continuing delays in construction of the DKU campus.
