A weekend downpour refreshed campus for the new week at (PUCPR) in Curitiba, Brazil. It鈥檚 the home of the American Academy (AA), a dual-enrollment program offered jointly by 5X社区 and PUCPR.
Kent State鈥檚 partnership with PUCPR offers students the opportunity to earn an associate degree in Brazil and then come to the Kent Campus to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree, or to do the same in Brazil. Several students are also planning studies at Kent State鈥檚 Florence, Italy, campus as part of their programs. Currently, about 150 students are enrolled in the American Academy.
The covered walkways around campus are a necessity, especially during Curitiba鈥檚 鈥渨et season,鈥 from October through March, when there鈥檚 a 46% chance of rain on any given day. In an average year, 62 inches of rain will fall in Curitiba. By comparison, the average annual rainfall in Kent, Ohio, is just 39 inches per year.
