The universities signed a Student Exchange Agreement on Friday, April 26 that is set to expand opportunities for student mobility and collaboration.<\/p>\n
\u201cExposing individuals to different perspectives, languages and cultures fosters tolerance, empathy and global citizenship, preparing graduates to thrive in a multicultural world,\u201d said Brock University\u2019s Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President, Academic Brian Power during the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe constantly seek opportunities and possibilities for our students to push their boundaries and further develop themselves,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cWe believe this partnership with Brock University will create these moments and therefore we are excited to sign this exchange agreement and look forward to further developing our relationship to include many more possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
