NUA folk music teachers and students were invited to visit the US to give a performance at Creighton and professors from Creighton also made academic lectures at NUA. Both parties discussed graduate courses, joint education of industrial design management majors, communication and visits of students and teachers from both universities.
Both parties reached a preliminary agreement to jointly exploring setting up graduate courses in industrial design management and other fields. Those courses will be taught mainly in English by professors from both universities and open to both Chinese and American students. Students meeting relevant requirements will obtain a master's degree jointly issued by both universities.
Both parties also reached an agreement on exchange visits for teachers: both universities offering equal and mutual benefits and the host university will be responsible for the reception and relevant board and lodging expenses of the visiting scholars. With respect to the students’ communication, both parties unanimously expressed they will encourage their students to make short-term exchange visits during which they will offer workshop, conduct professional research. Both parties expressed their willingness to make further discussion on this content, confirm relevant details and make a final written agreement. After the meeting, Dean Lueger visited NUA including the College of Design, Music, Film & TV as well as the College of Industrial Design.

Lecture Summary:
Granting an individual formal and legal inclusion into a country as a citizen is one of the most basic, yet powerful, functions that a government performs. Determining the characteristics required of the individuals who seek to become citizens allows a country, through the creation of policy, to pursue its interests in two significant wars: first, through shaping critical elements of its collective identity; and second, via exerting influence on the human capital entering into the country. A government's criteria for citizenship can thus reveal the prioritization that it places on these components of its national interest at any given time. Using an analysis of competing hypotheses (ACH) approach, it is possible to place a country's citizenship policy on a spectrum between realist/economic-based interests and constructivist/identity-based ones.
