Hu , along with Professor of Fine Arts Nick DeVries and Executive Director for International Initiatives Jerry Rhodeback , orchestrated the trilateral agreement.

The three-way setup works wonderfully for the exchange of ideas and techniques , says Hu.It opens our arts program to international faculty and student participation.

The arts have a unique way of displaying the hearts of nations and synthesizing understanding , and we are pleased that UHCL is the catalyst of this collaboration among Slovakia , Mexico and the United States , says Rhodeback.We are constantly exploring new concepts for international relationships and recent agreements with universities in India and Vietnam increase exchange opportunities for students and faculty..

During the past 15 years , UHCL has effectively established links promoting worldwide faculty and student exchanges.Before the ink dries on one agreement , Rhodeback is drafting another.Since the first partnership was established with Sri Lanka in 1985 , over half of the university's full-time faculty have traveled to more than 50 countries as participants in academic programs.Rhodeback's aggressive approach toward establishing global initiatives has stimulated a 20 percent international enrollment increase since 1999 and doubled enrollment over the past five years.

Each semester , UHCL students have the opportunity to participate in the daily activities of cultures throughout Europe , Asia , Mexico , South America , India and the Middle East.

Trevino's experiences in Xalapa have left him better informed about his own history.

A casual remark by 1995 MBA alumnus Ash Menon to Jerry Rhodeback , UHCL executive director for international initiatives , led to the formation of Lake College of Computer Science and Management in Chennai , India.The first business administration and computer science classes are now in session at the two-year college.

I broached the subject of starting a university with Jerry at my graduation ceremony in Dubai ­ United Arab Emirates in 1995 , says Menon , Clear Lake resident , software developer and consultant for the medical industry.I transferred to UHCL for my last two years of college and had such a great experience in the program that I felt it should be duplicated in India..

Largely responsible for the project's development , Menon supervised the process , which led to the establishment of the first academic institution of its kind in India.Lake College's development and construction costs were underwritten largely by Menon's father , Indian businessman T. Mohanchandran.

Expanding efforts to establish new UHCL collaborations , Rhodeback and Van Tran , UHCL professor of management information systems , met with representatives of Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City in July to establish UHCL's innovative graduate transfer program.
