Although I said I was slowing down, I can't pass up this news. On Monday, Kean University signed an agreement with China to establish the first U.S. university in China ("Kean University and Beijing ratify plan for campus in China" by Kelly Heyboer and Deborah Howlett, Star-Ledger).

Kean University President Dawood Farahi and a Chinese education department official signed a flurry of documents at a formal ceremony on Kean's Union Township campus. They were surrounded by high-ranking Communist Party officials who made the 7,000-mile trip from Zhejiang, the province where Kean University-Wenzhou will open next year.

What an opportunity for intercultural and educational exchange!!
