Dr. Jami Leibowitz, Director of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), visited Hangzhou Entel on May 17 to advance GU program enhancements and explore cross-cultural certification pathways with East Carolina University (ECU).

Key outcomes included:

• Teacher professional development opportunities      through GPE-accredited training

• GPE institutional membership prospects enabling student participation in global research forums

• ECU summer immersion programs for      language and cultural studies

Celebrating 13 years of collaboration since 2011, Entel’s GU achievements were highlighted, including Chris Brighton and Yu Jingjing’s upcoming keynote at GPE’s Japan conference. Dr. Leibowitz praised Entel’s innovative intercultural curricula and student-led GU projects, emphasizing their alignment with GPE’s mission to bridge 41 global universities.

The partnership expansion grants Entel students priority access to ECU’s Top 3-ranked public university resources in North Carolina, with tailored campus visits and credit-bearing academic programs.
