Purpose
The purpose of the UM/UWC Faculty Exchange Program is to advance mutual understanding and to demonstrate cooperation in teaching, research and service among the faculties of the University of Missouri System and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa. Outstanding faculty members from both universities participate. The program has enabled more than 900 faculty exchanges between the two universities. Many exchanges are from two weeks to one month, but the program also supports longer exchanges.
