Fuzhou University Zhicheng College Delegation Visits ÓûÂþɬ
Posted on August 11, 2014

ÓûÂþɬ President Dr. Tony G. Waldrop continued the University of South Alabama’s successful relationship with Fuzhou University Zhicheng College in China on Monday, Aug. 11, during a meeting on the ÓûÂþɬ campus with President Zuping Zhu and a delegation of Chinese educators.
Waldrop and Zhu exchanged gifts – an ornate scroll containing a Chinese parable written in calligraphy for ÓûÂþɬ and a piece of art glass from ÓûÂþɬ’s distinguished glass blowing studio for the Chinese visitors – in honor of their meeting. It was Zhu’s first visit to ÓûÂþɬ and Waldrop’s first meeting with visiting educators from Fuzhou University Zhicheng College since he was appointed ÓûÂþɬ President in February.
The 10-member group arrived in Mobile on Aug. 8 to learn more about ÓûÂþɬ and the local area. Their stay has included faculty meetings, classroom time and visits to local restaurants and shopping areas in Mobile and Fairhope.
Representatives of ÓûÂþɬ and Fuzhou University Zhicheng College signed a cooperative agreement to further study abroad programs in 2012 during a visit to China by ÓûÂþɬ administrators and faculty members.
