A team from Daffodil International University, led by Dr. Md. Sabur Khan, Chairman Board of Trustees recently visited Purdue University Fort Wayne campus where a group of DIU fellows are currently studying under fellowship program.

For a long time, Purdue University and Daffodil International University have been working together through academic collaborations. During the visit, a new agreement has been signed to further strengthen this partnership by developing Department of Innovation and Entrepreneurship of Daffodil International University. Additionally, Purdue University will support the enhancement of DIU’s Bachelor’s programs to ensure they meet global academic standards.

Ron Friedman, dean of the Purdue Fort Wayne College of Science, Ahmed Mustafa, professor of biology and Farah Combs, Director of the Honors Program of Purdue University Fort Wayne were present at the Agreement signing ceremony.

“We always try to get the best practices, because if we do our students will always benefit the most,” Khan said when asked to describe what he hoped to gain from this most recent trip to Fort Wayne. “This will be one of the signature programs of our university. It will be one of the incentives for our students to come to the U.S., because they have already completed the requirements to study in master’s programs.”

The PFW Honors Program has more than 400 students participating in pursuit of honors certificates. Students are selectively invited into the program based on high school achievements or test scores, and can also apply once they become a PFW student. Honors Program participants have the opportunity to enjoy various academic experiences, including exclusive classroom interactions with guests of the Omnibus Speaker Series.
