The focus of the visit was to experience the American University facilities and how they achieve the creation of an environment which is conducive to teaching and learning.
Another aim was to research the governance models of universities in Minneapolis and surrounding areas such as Saint Cloud State University, College of Saint Benedict’s and Saint John’s University.
The collaboration between NMMU and Saint Cloud State University is continuing a long-standing partnership of 20 years specifically aimed at arranging opportunities for students of the institutions to “study abroad”. This approach supports the concept of global relevance and assists the universities in empowering students with global experience.
