SANFORD - A reception was held Monday, Oct. 24, to honor Yuehan Ma, the newest visiting instructor for Central Carolina Community College's Confucius Classroom. The event was held at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford.

Ma is the fourth Confucius Classroom instructor at CCCC, as she succeeds Guan Wang (2012-2016), Ling Huang (2010-2012), and Shuya Che (2008-2010). The Confucius Classroom promotes an intercultural exchange grounded in Chinese language courses, but offering a wide range of cultural events and activities as well.

Ma graduated from Xi'an International Studies University with a Master's degree in 2007. She has served as a language and cross-culture instructor at Chang'an University since 2000. During her 16-year teaching career, Ma has taught a range of courses with a focus on cross-culture communication, American culture, and society studies, as well as language.
