SINGAPORE — The tussle for the marathon gold medal at next year’s SEA Games could prove an exciting one for home fans, with United States-based Soh Rui Yong set to give reigning champion Mok Ying Ren a run for his money.

Running in the California International Marathon yesterday morning, national 10,000m record holder Soh clocked an impressive 2hr 26min 01 sec to finish fifth in the men’s 20- to 24-year-old category, and was placed 37th overall.

The International Student Association (ISA) announced this week that it will be moving its iconic Coffee Hour to the Ford Alumni Center Ballroom. The event, a weekly mixer that fosters interaction between international students and the community at large, has traditionally been held at Mills International Center every Friday from 4-6 p.m. since 1982. However, the current reconstruction of the EMU has greatly hampered the weekly meet-up.

ISA is changing venues in order to continue to provide a safe space for both domestic students and international students  to come together.

Business students from China studying at the University of Oregon are transplanting old-fashioned Eugene do-gooderism back to the motherland.

For a fifth year, the UO-based Chinese Philanthropic Leadership Association is doing fundraising events — bake sales, flea markets, an annual “The Voice”-style singing contest — to pay for a summer project in China.
