China to sponsor institute at UMass
The University of Massachusetts and the Chinese Ministry of Education plan to announce today the formation of a nonprofit public institute to promote the teaching and understanding of Chinese language and culture.
The University of Massachusetts Confucius Institute would be the seventh such institute in the country and the first sponsored by China in New England. China, which plans to create 100 institutes worldwide by 2010, has given UMass a $1 million grant to start its institution. It will be on the Boston campus.
Weve had an interest on campus of expanding more broadly and offering international learning opportunities for our students, Michael F. Collins, chancellor of UMass-Boston, said in an interview yesterday. Heres a chance now to develop educational opportunities around language and culture.
