YSU signs with 5 Chinese universities

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State University has signed agreements with five universities in China as part of an effort to expand the institution’s global reach.

The agreements, which set the framework for a variety of educational collaborations, were inked during a two-week trip to China by a six-person delegation from YSU.

“There are tremendous opportunities in China for YSU to build relationships and establish partnerships that we believe, over the long haul, could be extremely beneficial for our students, faculty and the greater Youngstown community,” said Martin Abraham, YSU provost and a member of the delegation. “It was a whirlwind two weeks.”

In addition to the signed agreements, the delegation made three recruitment presentations, met with recruitment agencies and specialists, presented a lecture and showed a video about YSU’s additive manufacturing program, hosted a dinner for YSU alumni in Shanghai, and participated at an education expo.
