WCOE organized the International Conference on Educational Transformation under the Idea of Sustainable Development in collaboration with and hosted by Northeast Normal University in Changchun, China, on October 19-20, 2024.
Successful International Conference on Education for Sustainable Development
In October 2024, we had the honor of organizing the International Conference on Education for Sustainable Development in collaboration with Northeast Normal University in China. The conference proved to be a resounding success in every aspect, contributing significantly to the advancement of our University's strategic goal of internationalization.
As President Morales highlighted in his opening speech during the August 2024 Convocation, this international collaboration exemplified our commitment to fostering global partnerships in education. The event was not only a platform for exchanging cutting-edge research but also an opportunity for deepening ties with a key academic institution.
Over the course of two days, the conference featured presentations and plenary speeches from a diverse range of academic fields, each sharing valuable research findings with substantial implications for both practice and policy on a local and global scale. The academic exchange was stimulating, enriching, and of immense value to all participants.
Dr. Golge Seferoglu and Dr. Lasisi Ajayi had the privilege of presenting plenary speeches, followed by a 3-hour workshop with international students from Northeast Normal University. Their sessions were warmly received, and the engagement and enthusiasm from the students were truly inspiring.
In addition to the academic proceedings, they also had the opportunity to meet with various Deans and department chairs from Northeast Normal University to discuss potential future collaborations. We are optimistic that these discussions will lead to a wide range of productive academic activities and partnerships between our two institutions in the near future.
This conference marks a significant milestone in CSUSB's commitment to international collaboration and sustainable development in education. We look forward to continuing this fruitful partnership and exploring new opportunities for joint research, learning, and innovation.
