Benedict College Welcomes Students from Dali UniversityJuly 14, 2008
During the six weeks, the group will live on the campus in dormitories and travel on numerous excursions to historic sites, business enterprises, tour the South Carolina Governor's Mansion, and attend social functions. As part of the exchange program, the students also will have the opportunity to attend lectures and seminars. Dr. Stacey Franklin Jones, Vice President for Sponsored Programs and Research, is the principle for this cultural exchange. "We are looking to the future and towards growing partnerships between two technology and culturally diverse powerhouses," said Dr. Stacey Franklin Jones. "Interestingly enough, both Benedict College and Dali University student populations represent minority populations in each country".
The American-Chinese academic exchange is a positive step towards United States undergraduate science education embracing globalization. It will generate and heighten awareness of the state-of-the-art technologies that are nearing deployment and that can be especially useful or relevant to businesses and consumers in South Carolina. ### Contacts:
