Delegation Visited University of Minnesota

On April 25th Principal Wang and his delegation went to visit University of Minnesota Duluth and were warmly welcomed by Mr. Chris Haidos, Director of International Partnerships and Outreach.

After giving a tour of the campus, the two parties had a deep conversation on the development of prep-college courses and AP program, and explored the opportunity to develop faculty and students exchange, curriculum design and credit accreditation. Mr. Chris Haidos spoke highly of our students and hope to further long term and deep cooperation in the future.

University of Minnesota was founded in 1851 and the original campus overlooked on the Mississippi River. It is the best known public university in the north and is ranked the 29th in 2015 US News University Ranking. It has sister campus in Minneapolis, Duluth, Morris and Crookston with more than 60,000 students and prestigious professors, scholars and research center. It has historically enjoyed fame in international research, education and public affairs.

Meanwhile Principal Wang visited John and Jolane, the two teachers who worked in our school last semester. They missed the good time in our school and friendly teachers and students. Jolane will come back with the Delegation leading by Superintendent of Duluth Public Schools in this June.
