Dr Raj Shree Verma from the Rural Management Programme of Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi, has been nominated and selected to participate in a Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) Exchange program on ‘U.S. Economics and Sustainable Development’ organised by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). The University of Montana (UM) will administer this program and the Institute for Training and Development (ITD), in conjunction with Suffolk University, will host the Institute in Amherst and Boston, Massachusetts, from July 1 to August 9, 2023.
Dr Joseph Marianus Kujur, Director, XISS on this selection said, “XISS is very happy and proud that Dr Raj Shree has made it to the U.S. Her experience and interactions with the organisers and participants and a brief immersion in the international academic culture will benefit the Institute.”
This will be a short-term study on a U.S. campus where a multinational group of 18 experienced foreign university faculty, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from across the world will come together to learn about and experience U.S. culture and society. It will help participants to create an experience that will prove to be professionally and personally enriching for everyone involved.
