On November 20th, Dr. Stephen Cottrell, Assistant Director of the Office of International Program Development of Mississippi State University visited SAU, concerning the cooperation project between SAU and MSU. Memorandum on the "2+2" project and faculty exchange program were signed. Three faculties and several students studying master degree will go to Mississippi in July. Hopefully, in a very near future, more and more students of SAU will be sent to America to study under the typical American style education and learn the latest technology in the world.
Besides, three lectures were made to both international and Chinese students by Dr. Stephen with the subject of "Chinese Urbanization". The lectures received great welcome from the students. In addition, it was the first time that Dr. Stephen has been to Shenyang, where the hospitality of the local people left him wonderful impression.
