Wright State University President Cheryl B. Schrader signed a partnership agreement with a prestigious English university that promises to strengthen the existing relationship and paves the way to expand it.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony was held Nov. 8 in the Student Union Endeavour Room and capped a four-day visit by an eight-member delegation of officials from Cambridge, England-based Anglia Ruskin University. The delegation included the university\u2019s vice chancellor and representatives from its business school, theater program, student services and activities units.<\/p>\n

Schrader said there is much for the two universities to learn from each other and that more areas of collaboration are being explored.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many, many opportunities to strengthen our collaboration and have this be a model partnership,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Iain Martin, professor and vice chancellor of Anglia Ruskin, said both universities share the common mission of meeting its regions\u2019 needs in education, research and innovation. In addressing these needs, he emphasized the importance of global engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a huge set of shared values that sit behind the relationship,\u201d said Martin.<\/p>\n

Anglia Ruskin is a school of nearly 40,000 students, with campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough. It supplies many of the region\u2019s teachers, nurses, midwives and social workers.<\/p>\n

The signing represents the renewal of a 2013 memorandum of understanding with Anglia Ruskin designed to formalize commitment to higher education internship opportunities, pave the way for research initiatives and open the door for more student exchanges.<\/p>\n

In 2015, a 14-member delegation of high-ranking officials from Anglia Ruskin visited Wright State to learn about strategies to foster student engagement as well as Wright State\u2019s disability services and multicultural affairs programs.<\/p>\n

The delegation from Anglia Ruskin this year included Martin; Nigel Ward, of the theater department; Julie Walkling, chief Student Affairs officer; Bethan Dudas and Abi Dickinson, from the Students\u2019 Union; Jamie Carson, from Student Experience; and Nicola Faulkner and Joana Luis, from the business school.<\/p>\n

The group toured the campus and met with Gary Dickstein, Wright State interim vice president of student affairs; Joseph Keferl, dean of the College of Education and Human Services; Tim Littell, associate dean and executive director of student success; and Bill Holmes, associate vice president of international affairs; as well as leadership studies faculty Roxanne DuVivier and Carol Patitu and representatives from the Division of Student Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
