RUNIN’s Strength and Pride -A Diverse Faculty

OUR FACULTY - RUNIN has not only had a dramatic expansion

in its student population since its inception las fall, it has built a

uniquely strong and diverse faculty with multinational and

multidisciplinary backgrounds. Our faculty are authorities in a

variety of different ﬁelds, from Business to Law, and in the areas of

academic and creative writing. They hold advanced degrees from

across the English-Speaking world. Twenty faculty members are

currently working on site in Changchun, China to serve as

Instructors, Course Facilitators or English language teachers.

These individuals come from diverse education and social

backgrounds and have extensive teaching experiences from

across Asia, Europe and the U.S. They are a critical force in

cultivating and fostering the vigorous academic atmosphere and

conducive learning environment at RUNIN.

Hoops

The student-athletes of RUNIN sought the help of their American

teacher Malcolm Branch to coach them through their 3-game

campaign. The team made tremendous strides in carving out a name

for themselves as a young but promising group that will continue to

make progress and advance in the rankings. The RUNIN Hoops

ﬁnished the all-university 3-player tournament in third place. This is

the ﬁrst year that RUNIN has had a completely organized athletic

program which now not only competes in basketball, but also

includes a soccer program with the help of coach Jordan Neeser,

another American teacher of theirs from Idaho.
