Shanghai Open University Exchange Program 2025

Thank you for an unforgettable educational journey in China, part of the international leadership program hosted by UMass Global in partnership with Shanghai Open University. What began as a professional opportunity evolved into a transformative experience that broadened my worldview and deepened my passion for inclusive and transformational education. From exploring Shanghai’s vibrant blend of tradition and innovation to engaging with Chinese educators on topics like special education, technology, and community involvement, every moment was filled with purpose and inspiration.

The opportunity to learn and share educational theory and practice with Shanghai Open University was truly a remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I am proud that I could represent UMass Global as an alumnus. We should be working together collaboratively to ensure we learn the best from each country to serve our children the best that we can.
