telling the story: International and Intercultural Engagement The Hindu, India’s largest national newspaper, wrote a story about the University of Dayton, calling it a “model” for developing sensitive leaders. Today’s students need to focus on cultural competencies. Mere academic competencies will not do, University of Dayton President Daniel J. Curran told the paper. “If students in the U.S. don’t know what’s happening globally, the country will be challenged in the next 20 years,” Curran said. The New Indian Express ran a full-color story on UD’s partnership with two Indian universities and quoted Vice President for Enrollment Management Sundar Kumarasamy: “When it comes to human resources, the global competition is going to come from India. ... Our partnerships allow us to extend the classroom experience beyond the walls of our campuses, prepare us to think and act globally, provide us with extensive research opportunities and grant us possibilities to promote change.” The Hindu mentioned UD’s No. 2 ranking in the U.S. for materials engineering and No. 5 ranking for the entrepreneurial programs. The University of Dayton signed agreements for exchange with two universities in Chennai, India, known for their business and engineering programs. The key areas of research exchange include nanotechnology, engineering, energy assessment and fuel combustion. More than 20 Indian news agencies attended a press conference announcing the partnerships, including the country’s largest newspapers, The Hindu, Times of India, and The New Indian Express; the largest news wire services (Press Trust of India, United News of India) and local television stations. At least 13 publications covered the news in print and online.
