An eight-member delegation headed by President of the Metropolitan State University of Denver Dr Stephen M Jordan paid a two-day visit to the KIIT University here last week to promote cooperation between the two universities.
The team visited various schools and facilities of the KIIT University including the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and met the university’s founder Dr Achyuta Samanta, Vice-Chancellor Prof PP Mathur, Registrar Dr Sasmita Samanta and faculties. An MoU was signed between Prof Mathur and Office of International Studies Executive Director Dr Akbarali Thobhani in the presence of KIIT University Chancellor Prof Nl Mitra. The MoU would encourage exchanges between faculties and students on regular basis. Both the universities agreed to advance collaborative development and delivery of courses and programmes, in addition to promotion of research and scholarly projects.
