Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, and the deans of International Studies, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business, Education, Engineering, Law spent last week in Japan meeting with the faculty and administration at campuses of Kamagawa University.
One campus is at Yokohama, and the other is at Hiratsuoka, Lawrence's sister city is yokohama. Yokohama Tokyo is about 35 miles south of Yokohama.
Sankuel, who returned Saturday, said the KU delegation had discussed several exchange programs for faculty and students.
Research programs also were on top of the agenda, he said.
"This is going to be a very good relationship for all of us because we are anxious to have contact with them, and we want to have contact with us," Shankel said.
Joseph Bauman, dean of business,
said he was satisfied with the results of
the trip.Bauman returned Monday
with the other deans.
One of his goals is to expand the summer exchange program involving students from KU and Kanagawa University. The program began last year.
About 20 KU students are expected to study in Japan this summer.
Bauman said he expected about 20 students to go to Japan this summer.
In February a group of Japanese students will come to KU to take some English and business courses, he said.
Bauman said a faculty exchange program would start next spring.
A Japanese professor will teach a business course at KU and will work on it.
Bauman said faculty from both universities had an interest in manage- ment of the project.
"Next fall, somebody will go teach in Japan," he said.
George Woodyard, dean of international studies and programs, said there was a lot of interaction among the representatives of both universities
He said the goal of the trip was to build the necessary foundations to start implementing exchange and research programs.
"These things don't happen instantly," he said.
Woodyard said the Japanese were receptive, and their organization of the meetings was superb.
"It was A-plus all the way through," he said.
A mutual interest was to develop research on computer engineering, he
Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said he met with counterparts at both campuses to discuss opportunities for developing research.
"I'll be talking to people in those areas here," he said.
Exchange programs for engineering students need further analysis and understanding because KU and Kana University offer different curriculums. Locke said,
"I feel motivated to try to explore how we can answer all these questions," Locke said. "At this point we are learning about each other."
"The greatest difficulties have to do with the language," he said.
A student exchange program may come in the future, he said.
