On October 26th, the Josai University Educational Corporation delegation led by Chancellor Mizuta paid a visit to Shenyang Agricultural University(SAU).

Founded in 1952, Shenyang Agricultural University has played an invaluable role in the fostering of agricultural specialists and scientific research in China.

The delegation received a warm greeting from Secretary Chi Weiyi, SAU President Zhang Yulong, and many others upon their arrival. This friendly atmosphere was extended to the board room where they discussed the unique relationship between their two universities and ideas for future academic exchange. Participants observed the common points of interest specifically between SAU and Josai International University’s Faculty of Social and Environmental Studies and Faculty of Management and Information Sciences. Suggested plans for academic exchange included collaborative projects that investigate agricultural policy, methods to address the aging population, horticulture and crop distribution, social welfare problems, and problems of traceability. The meeting proved to be extremely valuable for reconfirming Josai-SAU connections and discussing potential directions in academic exchange.
