Faculty and Administrator Opportunities
Fort Hays State University is committed to providing faculty and administrators the opportunity to build relationships and gain experience in the international arena. Through our international partnerships, FHSU faculty teaching courses in China spend weeks in their Chinese classrooms in order to make connections with cooperating teachers, build relationships with Chinese students, and gain a unique perspective that in turn enhances teaching and learning for students in Kansas.
