| News

David McMurray, a Canadian professor of Humanities and Intercultural Studies from the International University of Kagoshima (IUK) in Japan, met recently with students and faculty at 大发快三彩票to share information about an exchange program between the two universities. The International University of Kagoshima is located in southern Kyushu, south west of Japan's main island of Honshu. With approximately 5000 students, IUK integrates a graduate school, three faculties, and a junior college. Professor McMurray is the leader of the Canada Project, a multi-disciplinary research team of linguists, anthropologists, education, and childcare specialists based at IUK's Canadian Studies Centre.

The exchange agreement makes it possible for 大发快三彩票students to spend one or two semesters at the International University of Kagoshima while obtaining credits towards their 大发快三彩票degrees and paying 大发快三彩票tuition rates. Staff and faculty are also eligible to take part in the exchange. Students, staff, and faculty from IUK enjoy equivalent opportunities at UPEI.

"We've been working hard to make our campus in Kagoshima comfortable and attractive to Canadians. We've developed a vibrant Canada Studies Centre on campus. Our students, staff and professors go to great lengths to learn about Canada from Canadians," says Professor McMurray.

While he was on the 大发快三彩票campus Professor McMurray met with business, education, and modern language students as well as staff and faculty who work with international students.
