Delegation from Hangzhou Normal University to visit Western March 23

Western Washington University officials will welcome a delegation from Hangzhou Normal University on March 23. Western President Bruce Shepard will meet with Hangzhou Normal University President DU Wei. A luncheon also is planned.

This past fall, Shepard led a delegation from Western to China and Mongolia in an effort to build more relationships with universities in those countries. Hangzhou Normal University was one of the universities the Western delegation visited during November 2014, with Shepard and DU Wei signing an Academic Cooperation Agreement at that time.

Hangzhou Normal University, located in Hangzhou, China, is a public university with nearly 12,000 students.
