Foreign Academic and Technical Collaborations
With increasing internationalization of education and more at the university level, there is a strong compulsion to promote interaction, especially with institutions of higher education in the industrial countries. Such interaction provides access to an ever changing scenario of a modern education delivery system and the most up to date innovative development in teaching and learning methodology. Recognizing this to be imperative, SIU has already initiated a number of collaborative programs with universities in the USA, Australia, Canada, and UK. The American corner, a joint venture of SIU and the American embassy, is a unique attraction of SIU. Membership is open to all. Members get the benefits of a rich library, computer, Internet access, materials for TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT and guides for study with scholarship in USA.

We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
