    • Why?

      • So that you do not need to recreate the wheel for every new international partnership

      • So that you quickly get the appropriate approvals for getting a partnership off the ground  

    • Academic Integrity and Undue Foreign Interference

  • Office of Community Engagement - Global Engagement
