SUNY Old Westbury is excited to announce a new educational cooperation agreement between the College and Kanda University of International Studies in Japan. Under this agreement, Kanda University of International Studies will send 15 undergraduate students to SUNY Old Westbury to study in various academic programs starting in the fall of 2023. A delegation of officials from Kanda University of International Studies, led by its vice president, Mr. Yasuhisa Kanaguchi, visited the Old Westbury campus recently to tour the campus and meet with the College's president, provost and other leaders before signing the agreement.
“It was our honor to host a delegation from Kanda University of International Studies to show them the power and benefits of the Old Westbury student experience,” said College President, Dr. Timothy E. Sams. “I thank Vice President Kanaguchi for visiting, and we look forward to hosting KUIS students in the future on our campus. Along with the educational value these students will gain from us, our campus also will benefit greatly through their interactions with their peers and our faculty, adding their own ideas and insights into the life of our campus. ”
This is the first of many new relationships the Office of Global Education at SUNY Old Westbury will develop to assist with creating a global campus.
KUIS, founded in 1987, is a private university with over 4,000 students dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in international studies, foreign language, intercultural communication, Japanese culture, and linguistics. The University has over 90 international partners across the world.
