\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 18, 2010 – With American and South Korean flags nearby and a global education vision for the future, David M. Dooley, president of the 溏心vlog免费B站 and Kee ll Lyu, president of Far East University, Eumsung, Chungbook, Republic of Korea signed a formal memorandum of understanding yesterday. The two presidents agreed to encourage and support visits from one university to another and explore learning, research, and teaching opportunities for their students and faculty members.<\/p>\n


\n\tLast fall, Lyu and a contingent from Far East University visited 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston Campus. Donald DeHayes, 溏心vlog免费B站 provost and vice president of academic affairs, hosted a lunch in their honor to explore the possibilities of common interests between the two universities.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAs outlined in our academic plan, Charting Our Path to the Future, one of our goals is to create global citizens. We want to strengthen the emphasis on global education across the curriculum and develop a model that expands our international\/global programs, partnerships, and opportunities, \u201c explains DeHayes.<\/p>\n


\n\tAt the initial meeting, DeHayes and President Lyu agreed that neither was interested in simply developing showcase agreements, but rather in identifying partners with shared interests and enthusiasm to advance opportunities for students and faculty.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe discovered common ground,\u201d says DeHayes. \u201cFor example, both institutions are exploring opportunities related to renewable energy\u2014solar energy at Far East University and wind energy at 溏心vlog免费B站. Far East students have an interest in journalism, film, communications, nursing, theater, and business– all programs of study 溏心vlog免费B站 offers.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cFar East is offering an expanding number of courses taught in English that should be of interest to our students, such as entrepreneurship, tourism, education, and health science in addition to courses in the Korean language, culture, and social policy,\u201d adds the provost.<\/p>\n


\n\tFar East University has an initiative to have its students learn English and has expressed an interest not only in having its students study at 溏心vlog免费B站, but also in hosting 溏心vlog免费B站 students so that its students could enhance their conversational English skills. <\/p>\n


\n\tDuring yesterday\u2019s visit to the Kingston campus to sign the agreement, the South Koreans spent an afternoon meeting with a number of 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty and toured 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences building.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe next step will likely be for a team from 溏心vlog免费B站 is to visit Far East University.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn 2009, 16 students at 溏心vlog免费B站 listed South Korea as their home country. Seven 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty members are from South Korea as are three staff members. In addition, 溏心vlog免费B站 has students, faculty, and staff of Korean ancestry. <\/p>\n
