San Francisco State University Center for Global Engagement representatives recently met with the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea, the Korean Education Center and the San Francisco King Sejong Institute to discuss expanded collaboration in education, student support and cultural exchange.

The meeting was led by the San Francisco King Sejong Institute, bringing together community organizations, government partners and University leadership to explore shared goals in global education and cross-cultural connection. SFSU is grateful to the San Francisco King Sejong Institute for organizing the meeting and fostering opportunities for collaboration.

Discussions focused on strengthening support for Korean international students at SFSU through mentorship opportunities, career development and expanded Korean language and cultural programming. Representatives also explored new pathways for educational exchange and study opportunities in Korea.

SFSU values partnerships that support international students and create meaningful opportunities for cultural learning and global engagement across the University community.

Welcome to San Francisco

The SFSU Center for Global Engagement will welcome 20 business faculty from the National Taipei University of Business (NTUB) for a weeklong program on innovation, artificial intelligence and business education Nov. 3–7, 2025.

Workshops and discussions will give participants a chance to share ideas about using A.I. in the classroom, analyze business trends and try out new ways to teach innovation. Faculty will also work together on group projects and take part in cultural experiences such as a Bay cruise and visits to SFMOMA and nearby neighborhoods.

Global Impact

The collaboration between NTUB and SFSU encourages the exchange of new teaching practices and builds connections in business education. When they return to Taiwan, NTUB faculty will apply what they learned in San Francisco to enhance their courses and help students understand how technology shapes today’s global economy.

SFSU looks forward to welcoming the NTUB delegation and sharing both the University community and the spirit of San Francisco with visiting faculty.
