A Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Windsor and Al Qasimia University in the United Arab Emirates encourages attendance at each other’s events, sharing academic publications, collaborating on thesis supervision, exchanges of faculty and students, and providing mutual advice and information.
UWindsor president Robert Gordon and Al Qasimia chancellor Awad Husain Al Khalaf signed the document Thursday, June 20, during a visit to Windsor by Dr. Al Khalaf.
Al Qasimia University is located in Sharjah, the UAE’s third most populous city.
The agreement aligns with the UWindsor commitment to global engagement, said Chris Busch, associate vice-president, enrolment management.
“The infusion of global perspectives is intrinsically woven into our core academic excellence and community impact values,” he said.
