Dr. Williams recently returned from Turkey where he had further discussions with Celal administrators.The five-year agreement signed by the two university presidents on March 24 at DSU paved the way for future undergraduate and graduate students study abroad opportunities, joint research and teaching activities, the exchange of pedagogical materials, as well as collaboration in the areas of business, administration, sciences, education and professional training.
During Dr. Williams’ Sept. 24-28 trip to Turkey, he met with Dr. Pakdemirli and other Celal University officials to hold further discussions on ways in which the two institutions could move ahead with the activities previously agreed to in the spring memorandum, especially in the areas of student exchanges and the DSU U.S. Cultural Enrichment Program.
Those plans are expected to be finalized between the two institutions on a future date.
