Cortland, NY -- November 30, 2006 – A successful meeting was held between SUNY Cortland and CORAfrica to strengthen partnerships with the State University of New York International Programs.

• Sending Nigerian students to the USA based on competent candidacy that meet our standards, as well as determining various needs and standards for US interns in Nigeria.
