Honorary Degree Given at International Friendship Day (11/2/2009)
Holy Family welcomed Guizhou University President Chen Shuping, PhD, as the featured guest during the University’s International Friendship Day on Wednesday, November 4.

Holy Family honored Dr. Chen with a special academic ceremony and luncheon. President Sister Francesca Onley, CSFN, PhD, presented Dr. Chen with an honorary degree.

Holy Family has enjoyed a friendship with Guizhou for several years. In 2007, the two Universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding agreeing to exchange visits of faculty and students, and to explore academic program sharing.

Guizhou is the state college of Guizhou Province, located in the southwest region of China. It has 20 colleges that serve almost 42,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

Pan Yin was Guizhou’s first faculty member to come to Holy Family as part of the agreement. She arrived on campus in July 2008, giving a series of presentations to University students before departing in December.
