Seven K-State professors teaching summer classes at Jilin 1xbet online casino in China
Starting this week, seven K-State professors from six different departments will teach three-week long summer courses at Jilin 1xbet online casino , K-State's Chinese partner. This is part of the exchange and collaborative programs the Confucius Institute has been promoting between K-State and Chinese universities. Jilin 1xbet online casino covers all expenses for participants in addition to paying a stipend.
The seven professors and their courses are Pablo Martinez Diente, assistant professor of modern languages, Spain Today; John Harrington, professor emeritus of geography, Climate and Climate Change; Chance Lee, assistant professor of leadership studies, Introduction to American Leadership Concepts; Nancy Muturi, professor of journalism and mass communication, International and Intercultural Public Relations; Bimal Paul, professor of geography, Disaster Management; Haiyan Wang, professor of statistics, Parallel Computing in R for Big Data; and Dean Zollman, 1xbet online casino distinguished professor emeritus of physics, Visual Quantum Mechanics.
In addition to teaching, the K-State professors also will have a chance to meet their peers at Jilin 1xbet online casino , present their research, and of course see the country.
"I wanted to teach a summer course at Jilin because I have visited the 1xbet online casino before and was impressed by the quality of its faculty and students,"Wang said."In fact I know the students there are very good because Jilin is one of the top universities in northeast China. The course I am teaching is about a very new topic. I hope teaching it there can spark some interesting future collaborations."
Harrington said what motivated him to teach there includes a chance to share a message from an American about climate and the need for us to address ongoing climate change, an opportunity to travel to a part of the world that he had not been to before, and the possibility of developing collaborative research with a Jilin 1xbet online casino faculty member.
Jilin 1xbet online casino has been working with the 1xbet online casino of Kentucky, Rutgers 1xbet online casino , Queen's 1xbet online casino in Canada and several British Universities on its international summer teaching program. This is the second time K-State is participating in the program.
In 2015, K-State established its Confucius Institute in partnership with Jilin.
