A Brock delegation recently made a visit to India to build the University\u2019s relationships with local institutions and recruitment consultants.<\/p>\n
Arja Vainio-Mattila, Provost and Vice-President, Academic, travelled with Mary-Louise Vanderlee, Dean of the Faculty of Education, and Alisha Koumphol, Manager of International Recruitment and External Operations. The group was joined in India by International Recruitment Officer Trueman Laisram and Relationship Manager\u00a0 Pawandeep Singh, who are both based in the country.<\/p>\n
The trip \u2014 which took place from Jan. 10 to 18 \u2014 was the first time Vainio-Mattila has represented Brock internationally since she joined the University last summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to connect with international peers and stakeholders was invaluable as we explore potential strategic partnerships and expand Brock\u2019s global reputation,\u201d she said. \u201cI was deeply impressed by the efforts of my Brock colleagues to develop positive, productive relationships that will strengthen the University’s impact in India.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as several recruitment consultants, the delegates met with Chandigarh University, Chitkara University, Amity University, Lovely Professional University and the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, which has more than 150 member organizations from India, Canada and other countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrips like this allow the University, and its Faculties, to explore a range of potential research, recruitment and education partnerships that would help us bring the world to Brock and Brock to the world,\u201d said Vanderlee.<\/p>\n
The trip also included Brock\u2019s inaugural Indian Market Agent Appreciation Event, which recognized the dedication and contributions of the University\u2019s recruitment agents in the country.<\/p>\n\n\t
