91¶ÌÊÓƵ President Dr. Tony G. Waldrop continued the University of South Alabama’s successful relationship with Fuzhou University Zhicheng College in China on Monday, Aug. 11, during a meeting on the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ campus with President Zuping Zhu and a delegation of Chinese educators.

 Waldrop and Zhu exchanged gifts – an ornate scroll containing a Chinese parable written in calligraphy for 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and a piece of art glass from 91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s distinguished glass blowing studio for the Chinese visitors – in honor of their meeting. It was Zhu’s first visit to 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and Waldrop’s first meeting with visiting educators from Fuzhou University Zhicheng College since he was appointed 91¶ÌÊÓƵ President in February.

The 10-member group arrived in Mobile on Aug. 8 to learn more about 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and the local area. Their stay has included faculty meetings, classroom time and visits to local restaurants and shopping areas in Mobile and Fairhope.

 Representatives of 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and Fuzhou University Zhicheng College signed a cooperative agreement to further study abroad programs in 2012 during a visit to China by 91¶ÌÊÓƵ administrators and faculty members.
