The University of Calgary (U of C) and the Aga Khan University (AKU) signed a memorandum of understanding to build the existing partnership between the two schools. The announced relationship promises to create more opportunities for student internships, faculty exchanges, and education and research collaborations. The schools’ partnership in the past has included programmes on more of a faculty-to-faculty basis, with initiatives available for U of C’s faculties of nursing, arts, graduate studies, school of medicine, and school of education. In a meeting with His Highness after he received his degree, U of C provost Dru Marshall said he was interested in developing programmes related to pluralism and expanding AKU’s research capabilities by comparing its work with the U of C’s.
