University of Montana Chosen To Foster Ties With Universities In India

The Institute of International Education has selected The University of Montana as one of 11 colleges and universities to foster higher education ties with India.

UM will participate in the institute’s 2012 India initiative, part of its International Academic Partnership Program. Over the next year, UM will engage in a series of training activities arranged by the institute to help implement and sustain partnerships with Indian institutions, culminating with a study tour to India in early 2012 to meet with potential partner campuses and leaders in the Indian higher education system.

A steering committee composed of representatives from across the UM system has formed to facilitate the University’s involvement in the project.

"India is a country of enormous importance today, and we have not had a coordinated approach to our involvement with it and its higher education institutions," said Perry Brown, UM provost and vice president for academic affairs. "To some extent this shortcoming will be rectified by our engagement with IAPP, and we will learn a lot more about how we might interact with Indian institutions."
