Fall | Recent Visit to Partner Schools in USA

NIU students studying abroad

Many thanks to our partner schools who hosted NIU staff during a recent visit to the USA. Members of the Dept. of International Tourism and International Center visited Butte College, Arkansas Tech University and Troy University to discuss further collaboration and study abroad options at NIU for American students.

Introducing NIU at Arkansas Tech

The visit also provided a great opportunity to check-in with NIU students who are studying abroad. As could be expected, NIU students are having the time of their lives and will come back with much improved English and a range of new skills.  The students recently took part in international culture festivities, organizing a Japan Night event which included Japanese food and opportunities to experience Japanese culture first-hand.

July 28, 2015 | Welcome Arkansas Tech University

We were delighted to welcome to our campus Mr. Yasu Onodera from Arkansas Tech University on July 28, 2015. Mr. Onodera and NIU Global Tourism Students

NIU and Arkansas Tech became exchange partners last year and completed final preparations for our initial exchange of students to commence in a mere two weeks. NIU students will study in Arkansas for one semester this fall. NIU is also eagerly awaiting students from Arkansas to study with us in the near future;

Mr. Onodera was gracious enough to conduct a pre-departure orientation with the five NIU students who will go on exchange. Staff from both universities also discussed ways to further deepen cooperation between both universities.
