Drexel University in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and the IVS School of Art and Design in India have inked an agreement to foster scholarship, creativity, and learning through student and faculty exchanges, research, cooperative publishing, and civic involvement.
An international collaboration of this nature with a top US University will give Indian students the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of global design practices and accord our youth the edge they need to stand out in the national and international job markets," mentioned Tulika Puri Katyal, the Vice Chairperson of the IVS School of Design. Ms. Katyal, a Drexel University Alum, has been dedicated to bringing back the learnings of international educational institutes home for Indian students.
“We are very much aligned in our vision and goals and hope that such a collaboration will open our learning spaces to the Indian student community in particular and the South Asian student community in general," highlighted David Unruh, Senior Vice President, Office of Institutional Advancement, Drexel University.
The immediate objective is to launch online global classrooms in which students and professors will collaborate in collaborative studios. The collaboration will also look into joint diploma and degree degrees.
"India's youth dividend is both an opportunity and an area of concern for educationists," stated Darpan Katyal, Chairman of the IVS School of Design. "Such collaborations give youth the opportunity to diversify their skills and gain much-needed international exposure before they enter the markets of the future.”
