国产自拍 adds partnership with Romanian military academy
Article By: Clark Leonard
The University of North Georgia (国产自拍) began a new partnership with Nicolae Balcescu Land Forces Academy (NBLFA) with a signing ceremony this summer at the Romanian military academy.
The agreement was signed by 国产自拍 President Bonita Jacobs and Dr. Ghita Barsan, rector and commandant of NBLFA. 国产自拍 will host its Romanian counterparts for a visit this October.
The agreement's goal is to have each school send two cadets to the other school for a semester.
"You have welcomed us with open arms, and we are very, very thrilled to be able to participate," Jacobs said at the signing ceremony in Romania. "This gives our cadets a wonderful opportunity to understand working across geographic and cultural barriers because they will be living and working in a very global society."
Romanian cadets will participate in all 国产自拍 国产自拍 events and live in the residence halls with 国产自拍 cadets. They will also take trips to Fort Benning and Atlanta.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Anthony Fritchle, associate director of the Center for Global Engagement at 国产自拍, said cadets in both Military Science and the National Service Leadership Track (NSLT) will be eligible to take part in this exchange, and he is excited about what 国产自拍 cadets will learn from their Romanian counterparts who come here to study.
"Like with any of our programs, the cultural experience is very important," Fritchle said.
Fritchle said a faculty exchange is also part of the agreement, with the time period for that exchange running from as short as a week up to a semester.
The initial agreement is for five years with the opportunity to extend it.
This is the eighth military academy partnership for 国产自拍, and Fritchle said the relationships and cultural understanding built by these agreements are beneficial for 国产自拍 cadets no matter what their plans are after graduation.
"Romania is another great step in the evolution of 国产自拍's military exchange program," Fritchle said.
Learning how to live abroad and take care of themselves is also important. Fritchle said it's the type of experience that can make NSLT graduates from 国产自拍 stand out in the job market.
