Josai Forms Academic Exchange Agreement with Shenyang Normal University

On the afternoon of October 24th, the Josai University Educational Corporation delegation led by Chancellor Mizuta Noriko visited Shenyang Normal University (SNU) to form an academic exchange agreement. Shenyang Normal University is an interdisciplinary university with the following eight academic departments: Philosophy, Economics, Law, Education, Literature, Physical Science, Engineering, and Administration. Having been established in 1951, SNU just celebrated its 60 year anniversary in 2011. Participants in the signing ceremony included Chancellor Mizuta and Advisor Murai Takashi from Josai and President Lin Qun and others from SNU.

During their meeting, representatives from the two universities reiterated their plan of cooperation which includes academic exchange in the fields of higher education and gender studies, the hosting of gender studies symposiums, and investigation into new business models to create better facilities for senior citizens. Judging by the lively discussion, this figures to be a very fruitful alliance indeed.

The Josai delegation was then treated to a guided tour of the university library as well as the College of Paleontology, Shenyang Normal University. Dean Ge Sun, a renowned scholar in the field of paleontology, accompanied the group on the College of Paleontology tour, providing personal explanation of the fossils on display. The delegation was deeply impressed by the College of Paleontology’s epic narrative as well as the magnificent artifacts on display that describe Shenyang’s important position in the world of archeology. As Josai too houses its own art museum with plans to open an archeological museum in the near future, this visit served as a valuable reference point for the group.
