Acadia Strengthens Ties in Beijing

Acadia University and Beijing Normal University (BNU), Zhuhai Campus, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote educational and academic exchanges between the two institutions.

 

During the initial five-year agreement, both institutions will encourage direct contact, educational, and research cooperation between students, faculty members, departments, staff, and research institutes. The partnership will open the doors for educational and exchange opportunities.
