　　SOHU Hostess：Hi everyone. Today we have invited a special guest, Jeffrey Sean Lehman, who is the former President of the Cornell University, Vice Chancellor of NYU Shanghai, and author of the newly published bilingual speech book An Optimistic Heart. Liya RONG, who is a Peking University professor, the assistant president of Chongqing University and translator of the book An Optimistic Heart, and Xiaochu MENG who is the assistant in the president office of NYU Shanghai also come together.

　　搜狐出国主持人：上海纽约大学今年进行了第一批招生，之前校园日的面试招生，让大家觉得非常神秘，能否请雷蒙校长介绍一下上海纽约大学在招生时的一些考虑，以及对于学生素质有什么样的要求？

　　SOHU Hostess’s Question for Jeffrey Sean Lehman: we know that the admission of the NYU Shanghai has almost been done, but the process of the admission and how did you recruit students is still a mystery to the Chinese public. Could you please talk about how did you design the admission process and what kind of quality did you require for these students you planed to recruit?

　　Jeffrey. Lehman（上海纽约大学常务副校长）：这是一个非常好的问题。我想当您站在我们的立场时，同样会思考什么样的学生最适合上海纽约大学所提供的教育，接着就会思考如何确定哪些申请人员符合我们所期待的要求。我们比较感兴趣的学生通常是聪明、勤奋、具有很强的好奇心、优秀的英文能力、立志与来自世界各地具有不同文化背景的成员一起共事并做出相应贡献，并且已经准备好做一名积极主动的学习者，因为我们的教学风格要求学生为自己的学习负责。

　　在上海纽约大学审核学生所提交的申请材料时，从材料上能看出来的仅仅是学生的考试成绩、竞赛成绩、获奖情况、校长和老师对学生的评语等情况，以上所有信息对我们来说都很重要，但是还是不够。英语的交流能力就是一个非常难以测试的能力，虽然像托福考试等其他考试能测试英语水平，但是这些考试并不能真实反映一个学生能否在英文环境中工作和学习。因此我们就需要面试学生，借以面对面直接交流。

　　Jeffrey Sean Lehman（Vice Chancellor of NYU Shanghai）：That is a wonderful, question. And I think when you put yourself in our shoes and think about what kind of students will be best for the kind of education that we offer at NYU Shanghai, you have to stop and say how can we learn which of our applicants have all the qualities that we are interested in. We are interested in students who are very smart, we are interested in students who work very hard, we are interested in students who are very curious, we are interested in students who speak excellent English, we are interested in students who have an ambition to work with other people from different cultures form other parts of the world so that they can contribute, we are interested in students who are prepared to be active learners because our style of teaching is the one that requires the students take the responsibility for their own learning.

　　So when the university look at the candidate’s application files, what they see on paper might be how well they did in the test in school, they might see how well they did in the competitions, what prizes they won, they might see the descriptions that their teachers have for them or their principal have for them. All of that information is very important for us, but it’s not enough. One of the things is very difficult to test, it’s the ability to communicate in English, there are tests of course like TOEFL test, but they don’t really do a good job in showing how well a student can work in an English language environment. Then we need to meet the students so that we have a chance to see the students in person.
