Tania Lima, director of global engagement for King\u2019s Worldwide at King\u2019s College London, visited the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on February 23 for an overview of partnership activities between UNC and King\u2019s. Lima joined King\u2019s Worldwide in February 2016 and is responsible for directing the global engagement team and supporting overseas partnerships.<\/p>\n
During her visit, Lima met with faculty from social sciences and humanities departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School, and International Student and Scholar Services to learn about existing joint initiatives, including the extensive engagement of graduate students, and to discuss future plans. She also participated in a lunch discussion hosted by Ron Strauss, executive vice provost and chief international officer, with researchers from some of UNC\u2019s health affairs schools to explore areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n
With a research background in molecular biology and experience leading international collaborations in cancer research, she had particular interest in her meeting with Shelley Earp, director of UNC Cancer Care, who has had longstanding collaborations with researchers from King\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarolina has benefited for many years from a very close relationship with King\u2019s College London,\u201d said Ron Strauss, executive vice provost and chief international officer. \u201cMore departments become involved every year and our students, faculty, and staff continue to find novel ways to collaborate.\u201d<\/p>\n
