Students and Faculty Present at Cuba Ties 10 Conference

A team of SUNY Oneonta faculty, staff and students traveled to Cuba from Oct. 23 to Nov. 1 to present research at the Cuba TIES (Strategic Alliances for the Internationalization of Higher Education) conference, an international event dedicated to collaboration and innovation in higher education.

This marks the first time a SUNY Oneonta group has participated in the conference, joining others from U.S. institutions, including SUNY Cortland, Cal State LA and Laman College in the Bronx, along with faculty from Spain, Cuba and South Africa.

Created in collaboration between the University of Cienfuegos and Civitas Global Education Services (GES) in 2014, the Cuba TIES Conference brings together educators and researchers from around the world to explore new ways of working together across disciplines and borders. The event, in its 10th iteration, highlights the value of shared knowledge and global cooperation in fostering stronger educational systems for students. Hosted at the University of Cienfuegos, "Cuba TIES 10" took place from Oct. 28-31 and was under the umbrella of the third International Scientific Convention of Cienfuegos.

"We are convinced that the international association of students, professors and universities, through working relationships, will increase the sense of belonging of each individual, and therefore improve the work in the classrooms and produce better citizens for their societies," said SUNY Oneonta President Alberto Cardelle, who attended the International Scientific Convention of Cienfuegos as the keynote speaker.
