Dr. Liz Grobsmith from Northern Arizona University visits JUFE

On September 26th, Dr. Liz Grobsmith, special counselor of international affairs, and Wang Feng, vice-director of China Public Affairs Department from Northern Arizona University (NAU) visited JUFE. In April 2013, NAU established a student exchange program with JUFE, and hosted a promotion conference at JUFE’s School of Tourism and Urban Management. The delegation’s visit this month was to promote short-term programs and post-graduated programs to JUFE students.   

Prof. Xiao Long, director of Office of International Cooperation & Exchange met with the guests. Prof. Xiao reaffirmed that the promotion conference last year left a positive impression on JUFE students: many of them were interested in the “2+2” program.  Prof. Xiao and the NAU representatives discussed the future expansion of this program.

They visited the School of Accountancy, where the dean, Zhang Weidong introduced the condition of the school. He asserted that students in the School of Accountancy are enthusiastic about study in the United States, and he hopes there will be further teachers’ exchange between our two universities.
In an information session for students, Dr. Liz Grobsmith and Wang Feng made a comprehensive presentation about NAU programs exclusively for Chinese students, as well as the details and requirements for application. Over 100 students attended the presentation.
After the session, Wang Xiaoping, assistant president of JUFE met the guests. He briefly discussed JUFE’s international education with the guests. He expressed his hope that our two universities can bolster exchanges as quickly as possible. He also shared his ideas on teachers’ exchange programs and academic exchange with guests.
