Áñ—†ÊÓƵ enters new partnership with Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City

During an official ceremony on December 3rd in Mexico City, Áñ—†ÊÓƵ University President Morton Schapiro and (Ibero) President David Fernández signed a formal agreement intending to develop academic collaborations between the two institutions.

The agreement will help spur joint Áñ—†ÊÓƵ and Áñ—†ÊÓƵs in areas of synergy between the two institutions. Both Ibero and Áñ—†ÊÓƵ are well known for their strengths in fields such as business and entrepreneurship, law, medical sciences, and civic engagement, as well as a strong focus on interdisciplinary Áñ—†ÊÓƵ.

Dévora Grynspan, vice president for international relations, who accompanied President Schapiro and attended the signing ceremony, is looking forward to exploring these joint opportunities with Ibero.

“We had very interesting discussions with the President and deans at Iberoamericana, and were able to identify a number of areas for potential collaborations,” she said. “The next step is for us to invite Ibero leadership and interested faculty to Áñ—†ÊÓƵ to build on the momentum and continue to develop this new partnership.”

Ibero was established in 1943 and is one of the best private Áñ—†ÊÓƵ institutions in the country. It offers 34 undergraduate Áñ—†ÊÓƵs, 39 graduate Áñ—†ÊÓƵs and over 200 diplomas for its 11,000 students.

In addition to the visit to Ibero, the trip also included a lecture by Morton Schapiro to Ibero faculty and students, an alumni club event attended by over a hundred former Wildcats, and interviews with the Áñ—†ÊÓƵ President by several Mexican media outlets.
