Sometimes you can squeeze a lot in a day! As I get ready to end a productive day, I marvel at the wonderful experience of meeting someone new, finding out how many things we have in common, and both parties getting excited about a now-shared vision. We met many great people today and look forward to discussing our partnerships even more in the future.
Sometimes our meetings took the more social form of sharing a meal (I especially like these type of meetings, don't you?). Here we are sharing a dinner with faculty from the Gandhi Memorial Museum in Madurai, Gandhigram Rural Institute and Lady Doak College. We even made a new American friend studying in Madurai as an anthropology graduate student!
Throughout the day, we were able to meet with the Director of the Gandhi Museum, Dr. R. Rengasamy, Associate Professor of History, Dr. M. Valliammal and Principal (President), Dr. A. Mercy Pushpalatha (both of Lady Doak College), and Associate Professor of Gandhian Studies and Ramalinga Philosophy, Dr. V. Alagirisamy. I am happy to say that everyone we've met so far is as excited as we are at the possibility of bringing ACC students to Madurai! They are especially excited about getting our students to spend time with their students and learn from each other.
We toured the Gandhi Museum and Library and learned so much concerning the modern history of India. Thank you Dr. A. Ravichandran for giving us the lovely tour!
