PSU President Tom Bryant, left, and professor Ju Yiwen, president of Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, signed a 2+2 agreement that allows the students in China to study for two years at Zhengzhou and complete their degrees at Pittsburg State.

President Ju said the agreement is cultural as well as academic, strengthening the ties between PSU and Zhengzhou University and Pittsburg State and also between the U.S. and China.
