In order to continuously promote

our university's internationalization strategy, while strengthening exchanges

and academic cooperation with teachers and students in other overseas colleges

and universities, on November 15, 2018, Michael Mahon, president of the University

of Lethbridge in Canada, together with Paul Pan, International executive

Director, and David Yan, international admissions officer, and other staff came

to our university for exchange visit.

Principal Liu Jin, Deputy Director

of the International Cooperation and Communication Center Ding Jie, and other

staff member of the International Cooperation and Communication Center,

attended the event.

Founded in 1967, University of

Lethbridge in Canada is a small public research university based in Alberta,

Canada. For many years, University of Lethbridge has been at the top of its

university rankings in MacLean's, an authoritative Canadian news magazine, with

its unique high level of teaching, innovative scientific research, world-level

technology applications and high-quality student services.

At the beginning of the

discussion, the teachers of the International Cooperation and Communication

Center briefed the teachers of University of Lethbridge on the development,

educational concepts and development goals of our university. Subsequently,

Michael Mahon, president of University of Lethbridge, gave a brief introduction

of University of Lethbridge, saying that the biggest feature of this university

was its dedication and focus on undergraduate education and general education.

Although University of Lethbridge is one of the three research universities in

Canada, it also attaches great importance to applied education, in order to

further strengthen students' practical ability, the university owns

professional real-time training rooms for securities as well as a modern

science teaching building to provide students with professional experimental

equipment and experimental sites.

Subsequently, President Liu Jin

welcomed the visit of the 4 teachers from University of Lethbridge on behalf of

our university. She said that as a private university, we have rapid response

and strong execution compared with traditional public colleges and

universities. In addition, our university has been focusing on undergraduate

applied education, which is highly compatible with the development

characteristics of University of Lethbridge, so we look forward to working with

University of Lethbridge in summer camps and other projects as the beginning, and

further developing non-academic short-term exchanges, "2+2" and other

academic programs, as well as teacher training and curriculum reform to carry

out a variety of exchanges and cooperation. While expressing a high degree of

affirmation of our university's founding philosophy and environmental

facilities, President Michael Mahon is also looking forward to working with

such a vibrant institution. He said that in order to further strengthen

international exchanges and cooperation, the university built an international

business school this year that intends to provide students from all over the

world with a platform for learning and communication. At the same time, in

order to meet the different language needs of students in different countries

and regions, the university also set up a variety of special professional

academic English courses.

Finally, the two principals signed

an MOU on behalf of two universities, hoping to take this opportunity to enable

the rich and varied exchange and cooperation projects to be effectively put

into practice, so that the teachers and students of the two universities can

really benefit from it.
