The Confucius Institute: A partnership between UAA and China's Northeast Normal University
by Kathleen McCoy |
A delegation from the People's Republic of China and officials of the University
of Alaska Anchorage will inaugurate a new relationship this month with the signing
of a cooperative agreement between UAA and the Chinese Ministry of Education.
The agreement is the first step in what is intended to be a rich, rewarding interchange that includes the establishment at UAA of Alaska's first Confucius Institute and further agreements that lead to a partnership between UAA and China's Northeast Normal University (NENU), with the two institutions sharing in teacher training and similar programs.
"We're internationalizing our university," said Dr. James Liszka, dean of UAA's College of Arts and Sciences, which is spearheading the UAA half of the new partnership.
