Dear Students,

We are delighted to start the Meal with Your Professor program (MYP), organized by the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL). This program will run from 9–20 November 2026 (two weeks of meaningful interactions).

The MYP program provides you with a unique opportunity to engage with your professors over a meal or coffee. It’s a great chance to talk about career paths, research opportunities, or just get some academic or personal advice—all in a relaxed setting.

First time joining? It’s as simple as inviting a professor to lunch!

1. Make the invitation

Invite one faculty member on your own, or team up with 1–2 other students to invite 1–2 faculty members. Each group may include up to 3 students and 2 faculty members (lecturer rank or above).

Agree on a time and place together, and let your professors know that CTL supports meal costs up to RMB 50 per person.

2. Pick a spot and enjoy the conversation

Choose from these campus venues:

• CHIAS Coffee（文创咖啡馆）

• For You（浮屿）

• Pizza Hut（必胜客）

• Home Beef Noodles（穆味王）

• Starbucks（星巴克）— please order directly at the counter.

Before you leave, remember to keep your payment receipt (no invoice needed) and take a group photo with your professors. Both are required for reimbursement.

3. Submit your reimbursement request

The student who pays should submit the request through WeCom or the BNBU Portal by Tuesday, 24 November 2026. Using a computer is recommended; please see the attached guide for instructions. Late submissions cannot be accepted.

Once CTL approves the request, the reimbursement will be transferred directly to the Alipay account provided in the application. Please double-check your account details.

You’re welcome to join multiple meals, but each student may receive reimbursement only ONCE during the program.

4. A few friendly reminders

• Let your group know about any food allergies in advance.

• Keep your personal belongings safe.

• Photos may be used for CTL’s non-commercial promotional materials. Please make sure everyone in the photo is aware.

For questions, feel free to contact Ms. Yao WANG (yaowang@bnbu.edu.cn /3677163) or Ms. Meredith Weiyi XIE(meredithwyxie@bnbu.edu.cn/ 3677704). We’re here to help!

Wishing you inspiring conversations and delicious moments with your professors!

亲爱的同学们：

一顿饭、一杯咖啡，让你认识课堂之外的老师！

教师教学发展中心（CTL）将于2026年11月9日至20日举办“取贤于师，共享食光”（Meal with Your Professor，简称MYP）活动，邀请你与老师共进餐食、轻松交流。无论是职业规划、科研机会，还是学习与生活中的小困惑，都可以成为餐桌上的话题。整整两周时间，期待你和教授一起度过一段轻松而又有收获的时光。

第一次参加？从一句“老师，一起吃个饭吗？”开始吧！

1. 发出邀请，约好时间

你可以单独邀请一位老师，也可以与另外1–2位同学组队，邀请1–2位老师。每组最多3名学生及2名教师，受邀教师须为讲师或以上职称。

请主动与老师商定用餐时间和地点，也别忘了告诉老师：CTL提供每人最高人民币50元的餐费支持。

2. 选个好地方，边吃边聊

以下校内餐饮地点供你选择：

• CHIAS Coffee（文创咖啡馆）

• For You（浮屿）

• Pizza Hut（必胜客）

• Home Beef Noodles（穆味王）

• Starbucks（星巴克）——请直接到柜台点单。

享受美食和交流之余，记得保留付款收据（无需开具发票），并与老师拍一张合照，两项都是报销所需材料。

3. 提交申请，报销直接到账

请由付款同学于2026年11月24日（周二）前，通过企业微信（WeCom）或BNBU Portal 提交报销申请，建议使用电脑端操作。具体步骤请参阅附件指引，逾期申请恕不受理。

经CTL审核通过后，报销款将直接转入申请时登记的支付宝账号。请仔细核对账号信息，确保款项顺利到账。

欢迎多次参加共餐交流，但每位同学在本次活动期间仅可享受一次报销。

4. 贴心提醒

• 如有食物过敏，请提前告知同餐成员。

• 用餐期间请妥善保管随身物品。

• 合照可能用于CTL的非营利性宣传，请确保合影成员知悉。

如有疑问，欢迎联系我们：
