University Signs Exchange Agreement with
Brazilians
Ohio
University President Robert Glidden signed
an agreement Monday, January 10, to create
a student and faculty exchange program
with a Brazilian institution of higher
learning, Fundacao Getulio Vargas.
"There
will be student and faculty exchanges and
collaborative efforts in teaching,
research and consulting, " said Associate
Provost for International Programs Josep
Rota. "Fundacao Getulio Vargas is widely
regarded as Brazil's premier institution
of higher education in business, economics
and the social sciences. This opens an
excellent opportunity for Ohio University
to strengthen its Latin American
programs."
The
agreement also calls for both universities
to pursue collaborative distance learning
opportunities and for Ohio University's
Center for International Studies to offer
tuition scholarships to graduates of FGV
pursuing master's degrees in International
Affairs.
