Quotes
and Comments
“WVU’s goal is to provide our students with opportunities that
enhance their understanding and experience internationally, and China is strong
priority. China is an incredibly important player in the global economy,
and its importance is increasing each day. With the development of education
abroad and research initiatives, we’re able to provide our students with
first-hand knowledge of China and its culture – this will help prepare them
immensely for the increasingly global workforce.” —William Brustein, vice president for Global Strategies and
International Affairs
"The Office of Global Affairs works diligently to connect our campus to these opportunities abroad. Providing students with a central resource that helps them become more globally competent is an invaluable asset to the University, and is vitally important to helping our students achieve success.” — William Brustein
