The University of the Free State (UFS) recently communicated with the Appalachian State University (ASU) in North Carolina in the United States of America by means of a video conference. Various departments and faculties were involved with the communication, culminating in an agreement for future collaboration with the ASU. Opportunities for research and community partner collaboration in the ASU’s international learning programmes were identified.
