DVC's delving paves way for academic interchange 

Deputy Vice-Chancellor Angela Delves has been paving the way for academic interchange with universities on the Subcontinent.

Her recent visit to a range of institutions across Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka identified areas of need and ways that CQUniversity's expertise may be able to contribute to academic development.

Professor Delves said the talks also examined the potential for program articulations and academic exchanges and could lead to agreements with a number of institutions.

She said a particular highlight was her visit to the luxurious University of Dhaka's Senate Auditorium (in Bangladesh), which was appointed in the manner of a parliament house.

Professor Delves was the keynote speaker for the University of Dhaka's seminar on ‘Academic Governance - Quality Assurance and Collegiality'.

She shared the podium with the University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Faiz and the President of the Foreign Investors' Chamber of Commerce and Industry Waliur Bhuiyan OBE.
