Welcome Home!
The first wave of junior year students from China’s Anhui Normal University arrived Aug. 19 on Brenau’s Gainesville campus. The 18 students are part of a special agreement between Brenau and ANU that permits the students to complete the first two years of their college careers in China and graduate from Brenau after completing their junior and senior years on the Gainesville campus. Students in this group will major in early childhood education.
