With the increasing number of visiting professors and lecturers from abroad at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Lunch Box Club for English promises to have more extra sessions with the participation of many special and interesting guests. They will bring new perspectives and stories from their cultures and countries, thereby opening up opportunities for language and cultural exchange among the university's staff and students.
