UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Susan Welch, dean of the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts, recently finalized a memorandum of understanding with the University of Chile to collaborate through the Center for International Human Resource Studies and the School of Labor and Employment Relations. The memorandum will allow both Penn State and the University of Chile to work jointly on activities related to student experiences, faculty research, outreach and development opportunities.
Center director Elaine Farndale and Maria Beamond visited the University of Chile in April to discuss collaboration opportunities. Both faculty members also presented a workshop to students and faculty at the University of Chile on academic publishing.
