Abstract:
Historically, China has been a profitable market for North Carolina’s tobacco and textile products and a recruiting ground for missionaries. Dr. John E. Thomas, Chancellor of Appalachian State University, is facilitating an innovative educational exchange program with the Northeast Institute of Technology in Shenyang, China. As a former engineer and communications officer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Thomas believes the exchange program will lead to advantageous opportunities.
