Due to COVID 19, students all over the world have not been able to travel abroad and may not be able to for some time. In an effort to bring the world to our students and to facilitate the internationalization effort at 米乐M6, the Study Abroad Office has helped ATU faculty members, faculty members at partner universities, and specialists abroad come together for a variety of virtual collaborations. These include guest lectures, collaborative webinars, interactive workshops, and cooperative curricular/co-curricular activities among students.
We are grateful to the faculty members from every college at 米乐M6 who have committed to be part of this exciting international experience for our students. Below are the collaborations for the Fall 2020 semester:
