Last week, faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences began communication with colleagues from the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uwc.ac.za/">University of the Western Cape in South Africa</a>. Via video conference, approximately a dozen UK faculty and their South African counterparts discussed ways in which the two institutions could work together. Ideas included opportunities for students to study abroad, faculty and postdoctoral scholar exchanges, and research collaborations. Conversations will continue in the coming months. The University of the Western Cape is a premier institution of higher education, located in Cape Town, South Africa. </p>
