Growing our International Programs

Dec 24, 2015

In October, I travelled with our Dean of International Education and Global Initiatives, Jean D’arc Campbell, to Japan and South Korea where we signed Memorandum of Understanding agreements with three institutions to begin exchanging students and offering opportunities for faculty and staff beginning in spring 2016.

At its core, these partnerships will allow for students, faculty and staff to get to know another part of the world, but moreover, as we send faculty and students to visit foreign countries, they in turn act as Bellevue ambassadors and share with their hosts our unique Northwest culture. We live in a very culturally diverse community and Bellevue is a marker on the map of international exchange. I am really looking forward to seeing these partnerships come to life.
