Innovative Ventures for Student Mobility in the Americas

With a focus in the areas of energy, water quality, waste management, environment and economy, West Virginia University’s program will increase student and faculty mobility between WVU’s College of Agriculture and Resource Economics, and UNA’s Economics, Management and Accounting, Faculty of Economics. Students will attend special seminars in the related themes, travel to prominent sites in the field for first-hand observations, as well as participate in hands-on training in new and advanced technologies at the respective campuses’ ICT centers. Furthermore, using a corporate sponsor’s media platform, WeSpeke, WVU will maintain connectivity between students across the Americas by providing the means for intercultural interactions with their counterparts, allowing students to discuss issues in resource economics, design scenarios, and partner with each other on problem-solving exercises.
