Delta State University has worked hard to develop international partnerships in recent years, and these developments have grown once again thanks to a new relationship with Daffodil International University <\/span>in Dhaka, Bangladesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The partnership formed thanks to efforts from Dr. A.H.M. Ali Reza, assistant professor of biology at Delta State, and the university\u2019s international partnership liaison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reza, a native of Bangladesh, had been communicating with former colleagues and peers at Daffodil, and during a research trip Reza took to Bangladesh in July, both institutions signed a formal memorandum of understanding to begin developing international exchanges at the schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have <\/span>several\u00a0<\/span>very good connections at Daffodil International University who worked hard to make this partnership happen with Delta State,\u201d said Reza. \u201cBeing one of the leading private universities in Bangladesh, DIU has a good reputation for offering high-quality higher education to the students. They have been working hard to grow their connections in the international market, and forming this connection between DIU and DSU<\/span>\u00a0is <\/span>a great opportunity for\u00a0<\/span>both universities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The main goal of this partnership is to send students and faculty abroad for academic and cultural exchanges. Reza is hopeful that these formal exchanges will soon become available for both faculty members and upper level students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Md. Fokhray Hossain, director of International Affairs at DIU, is also thrilled to move forward with the exchanges.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to bridge the international partnership for student exchange, academic exchange, research and sharing resources between both of the institutions,\u201d said Hossain. \u201cInitially, we look forward to start a short-term student and academic staff exchange program, such as a summer program to develop cross-cultural activities.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Christy Riddle, executive director of International Student Services and the Student Success Center at Delta State, is excited to see Delta State\u2019s international connections building.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to expand our international partnerships, we increase the opportunities for DSU faculty to teach abroad,\u201d said Riddle. \u201cThis partnership will also allow our students the opportunity to participate in international study abroad opportunities.\u201d
