Western New Mexico University has signed an agreement with Colegio Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a private Catholic K-12 school in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.
This is the first agreement of its kind for WNMU, creating a partnership with a school that plans to bring high school aged students in the summer of 2016.
“I am happy and grateful for the opportunity to work together,” said Maria Guadalupe Nunez Marquez, Colegio Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Director. “We have the realization of our youth getting great jobs thanks to your efforts.”
The agreement signed by Director Marquez and WNMU President Joseph Shepard will formalize a partnership with the two institutions as they begin a year of planning for the summer 2016 program.
Earlier conversations between both institutions determined that courses needed for the high school students include writing, graphic design and Photoshop. Students will take at least 100 hours of classes during the four-week program.
A successful program will allow WNMU to partner with 14 other Mexican institutions.
