Agreement Promotes Academic Exchange and Cooperation between Chinese and U.S. Institutions

Barry Dahl, Lake Superior College’s vice president of technology and the Virtual Campus, traveled to China during June to finalize an agreement with Nankai University Binhai College. The arrangement calls for the higher education partners to exchange faculty and students. Initially, the parties will exchange employee groups for the purpose of negotiating and implementing academic exchanges and other cooperative ventures. The institutions have also agreed to appoint staff to facilitate communication and coordinate activities.

President Whenhueng Wang represented Nankai University Binhai College at a special signing ceremony on June 6, 2007. Dahl, representing LSC President Kathleen Nelson, signed for Lake Superior College.

Located in Dagang province, Binhai College is a campus of Nankai University, one of China’s most respected universities. The Binhai campus was established in 2003 as a joint venture of the University and the Dagang district government.

The agreement became official in June and will continue for a year. It can be renewed annually.
