PUEBLO — CSU Pueblo is teaming up with a foundation in South Korea for a unique hemp opportunity.

The Chuncheon Bio-Industry Foundation and the university made the partnership official on Monday.

With the new partnership, the Institute of Cannabis Research at CSUP will help the foundation grow the hemp industry in South Korea.

"I think it represents an opportunity to expand the research portfolio that the Institute of Cannabis Research is involved with.
