Today we spent all day with our colleagues of the IFCE, a Brazilian college with whom Niagara College has successfully worked during the past 10 years. The institution has 23 campuses throughout the State of Ceara, but we limited our visit to their main campus in Fortaleza. We received a few presentations on the IFCE from the General Director and some of the staff.
The International Relations Manager Gutenberg, who had organized today for us, with one of his student assistants. Afterwards Gaby and Alfredo gave presentations on their institution ISUR.
We had discussions on ideas how to make staff and student exchanges possible and how to possibly do (virtual) applied research between IFCE, ISUR and NC/Seneca. After a long day of talking and thinking "out of the box", Gutenberg showed us one of Fortaleza's beach areas, Praya do Futuro.
It was very windy and on a Monday there were not a lot of people at the beach. But the scenery was still very nice and the IFCE colleagues are lucky to have this in their "backyard"....
Tomorrow morning an early start for a 6 AM flight to Recife.
