Szilvia from the College of Commerce,

Tourism and Catering in Hungary
finished three-month work placements here at
Douglas College in December. Semperger
completed a marketing project in the
College’s Communications & Marketing
Office, while Szombathely worked on various
projects in the College’s Alumni Association.
Both students were the happy recipients of
$1000 in award money from the International
Education Department in December.

Four students from Hungary have spent
time here, while two Douglas College students
have visited there. About 25 faculty and
administrators have completed study tours and

 

consulting contracts with Hungarian schools,
while the College has hosted an equal number
of Hungarian faculty and administrators.
Further developments with Hungary include a
letter of intent between the College’s
Commerce and Business Department with the
University of Miskolc to enter into a scholarly
agreement to create exchanges for applied
research and doctoral studies for faculty. As
well, proposals are in the works to develop
nursing and business distance education
programs and psychiatric nursing programs
with Hungarian institutions. I
