TAU and the World
What would The Lowy International School be without our international partners? We are extremely proud of those with whom we work and innovate.
Here’s a highlight reel of SOME recent collaborative visits and developments!
North and South America
We recently welcomed representatives from Columbia University, Yale University, Northwestern University, George Washington University and Harvard University, among others. Back in the fall, we also welcomed a delegation of presidents from Canadian universities, including McGill, Western, Waterloo and Concordia. There were conversations about shared challenges and strategic goals, and action items set for working together and widening collaboration.
We’re also excited about new study abroad agreements with University of Washington, Eastern Michigan University and Baylor University, and renewed agreements with John Hopkins University, Vanderbilt University and Brandeis University.
Finally, The Lowy International School just welcomed the Link School of Business from São Paulo, Brazil for the second time. Approximately 60 students have arrived! And we’re preparing for the launch of a new customized summer program with a consortium of Michigan universities, which begins this June.
