"I am hoping to help to develop a long-term relationship between Wanli University and SUNY Plattsburgh that will allow Chinese students to come here to learn from our faculty and our students," Hornibrook said.
"Exchanges such as this one will help both countries to understand one another and to provide for our students a better feel for the changing and developing world environment as a whole."
If PSUC's partnership with Zhejiang-Wanli recruited international students, they would be joining the 400 or so students already studying abroad.
Mueller said he hopes to "understand something about the Chinese system, and their perspective on English programs."
Lee hopes to attract students looking to sign up for a year in PSUC's business program. Within this program, students from Zhejiang-Wanli would study internationally for one year, then return back to finish their degree.
Next semester, during spring break, PSUC's global education office will be offering a trip for students to visit China. Although students will have to pay for the trip themselves, a partial subsidization will be granted from the school, Golden said.
"As someone who studies China and teaches Chinese history, I am always excited to
go to China to see the country and especially to observe the dramatic growth of the
country," Hornibrook said. "I have never been to Ningbo but I have been to both Shanghai and Hangzhou and so it is always interesting to see how the cities have changed since my last trip."
