The visit was part of ongoing efforts by DWC faculty to promote international exchanges between Emirati students and their peers across the globe. Nao Valentino, Manager of the new DWC Entrepreneurship Centre commented, “Exchanges such as this increase our student’s international exposure and in turn makes them more productive, responsible and conscious global citizens.”
Dr. Monica Gallant, Chair of the Business Department at DWC, was instrumental in promoting the relationship between the two institutions. “These collaborative projects managed across international institutions are invaluable to our students as they enter a globalized environment,” Dr. Gallant concluded.
