Hong Pu

Ph.D. Student in Language Education and Volunteer

Hong Pu is passionate about language education. As an EASC volunteer, she has taught Chinese to kindergarteners, shared Chinese culture at a middle school, and demonstrated calligraphy to college students. She plans to work as a teacher, researcher, and administrator at a teacher’s college when she returns to China, and her volunteer work has given her a unique opportunity to learn about the American education system while also sharing Chinese language and culture. “I really appreciate how EASC acts as a bridge connecting IU’s international students and the Bloomington community,” she says. “These experiences in the U.S. will undoubtedly have an influence on me as a language educator in China.”

By educating about Asia for more than 30 years, Indiana University’s East Asian Studies Center has been a leading resource for the university, professional communities, K-12 schools, and the general public. As state funding for higher education decreases, our ability to prepare the next generation of educators and practitioners depends increasingly on gifts from generous alumni and friends.

We encourage you to support the East Asian Studies Center. 

  • Volunteer: There are several volunteer opportunities available for people who wish to donate their time and skills to the EASC.
  • Make a donation: Every gift makes a difference for our students, faculty, and K-12 teachers. There are a number of options for giving, including specific EASC funds.
