      said
      Timmons.
      ““We
      would
      send
      our
     
     
      UPEI
      professors
      over
      there.
      The

      would

      This
      offers
      Chinese
      students
     
     
      a
      peek
      at
      how
      our
      university
      oper-
     
     
      ates,
      and
      one
      of
      the
      advantages
     
     
      UPEI’s
      new
      program
      has
      over
      other
     
     
      universities
      is
      that
      if
      the
      student
     
     
      does
      not
      choose
      to
      come
      to
      the
     
     
      island,
      or
      if
      there
      are
      troubles
      with
     
     
      their
      visa,
      the
      credit
      can
      go
      towards
     
     
      the
      Chinese
      university.
      The
      final
     
     
      degree
      however,
      is
      a
      UPEI
      degree
     
     
      and
      the
      students
      would
      have
      to
     
     
      come
      to
      our
      island
      after
      their
      first
      or

      of
      study
      in
      the
      pro-

      depending
      on
      which
      of
      the
     
     
      universities
      they
      are
      registered
      at.
     
    

    
     
      “They

      It
      has
      raised
