Shenandoah University and Yangtze Normal University welcomed the inaugural Class of 2030 to their Sino-foreign cooperative education programs during an opening ceremony in September 2026.

Shenandoah University President Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., joined the ceremony virtually, while Dean of SU Asia Yvonne Chen, Ph.D., led Shenandoah’s delegation in person. YZNU Vice President Wen Wu, Ph.D., administrators and faculty from the Yangtze Normal’s School of Robotics Engineering, and 170 newly admitted students also attended.

In April, Shenandoah and Yangtze Normal announced a landmark partnership through which the universities established two dual-degree bachelor’s degrees in engineering physics and computer engineering that launched in Fall 2026.

Dr. Wu described September’s opening ceremony as both the beginning of the students’ university journeys and a new chapter in the partnership between the two institutions. Over the four-year program, he said, students will experience different approaches to teaching and learning in China and the United States, strengthening their judgment and learning to engage thoughtfully across different perspectives.
