A two-week educational and cultural exchange between a delegation of Oregon school leaders and China's Xian Province is concluding this week. Pictured here at the Great Wall near Beijing are Kelly Carlisle of Salem-Keizer, Diane Veleke of Umatilla, Colin Cameron of COSA, Matt Thatcher Cascade, Lee Loving of Redmond, Heather Cordie of Sherwood, Jon Mishra of Hermiston and Bob Stewart of Gladstone.

This is the second year of COSA's Administrator Exchange.  Oregon administrators host their Chinese counterparts for  a week in the fall, and then visit China for two weeks in the spring.

Information about next year's exchange program will be available later this month.
