“We’re looking to get more students from around the world to visit our campus and hopefully become students here because that will broaden diversity on campus and give our students more exposure to different cultures from people around the world,” Jamison said.
Throughout the weeks of June 9-19, 25 graduate students from USIU and 10 graduate students from the University of Lagos Business School in Lagos, Nigeria, will have the opportunity to attend different seminars and tour SC State’s campus, along with several other college campuses across the U.S. East Coast.
“One of the goals of this is program is to introduce SC State in all its capacity, as well as its academic programs to these international students,” CBIS Dean Dr. Matthew Guah said. “I think we should do more programs like this because SC State is a premier institution and a division
I institution, but a lot of students beyond South Carolina may not know about SC State. So, it’s up to us – the faculty, staff and students – to create initiatives that will expand the university’s brand and territory.”
“A part of the global engagement initiative of the university is to ensure our students connect with other students and entities abroad,” Dr. Learie Luke, director for the Office of International & National Student Exchange Programs (OINSEP). “If we keep having these types of programs, our students will benefit from working with international organizations and international universities. These interactions are really critical to fulfilling our mission, and I’m glad that they’re ramping up.”
Luke said the university and OINSEP have a mission to prepare students for global society. OINSEP’s goal is to get at least 100 students to study abroad each year.
