Innovation Through Synergy: Developing a Globally-Educated Workforce Through Cultural Exchange

Forsyth Technical Community College, along with Universidad Nacional de Villa María (UNVM) in Argentina, and Davidson County Community College and Guilford Technical Community College in North Carolina, will facilitate cultural exchanges that will engage students and faculty from all four universities to interact and exchange ideas with one another. The STEM-focused program will expand study abroad programming to Argentina, increase the number of virtual exchanges among partner schools, provide professional development for faculty and administrators who are globalizing their campuses and curricula, and provide an opportunity for UNVM students to travel to North Carolina campuses.
