ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Trine University has joined a program to allow students more opportunities for study abroad experiences.
The university is now part of the Webster International Network of Schools (WINS) program, operated by Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. Membership in the WINS program allows Trine students the opportunity to participate in study abroad experiences at Webster’s international campuses and global partnership sites, which include:
Trine already had offered students the opportunity to participate in programs at the Athens campus, and entered into a full partnership after Haseeb Kazi, Ph.D., director of study abroad at Trine, attended the WINS conference in Leiden this past summer.
The WINS program, established more than 15 years ago, creates partnerships between Webster University and U.S. universities to provide access to Webster's international campuses on four continents. The program allows full-time, degree-seeking students of affiliated U.S. universities to study abroad at one of Webster's international campus locations and allows for collaborative program development among partner institutions.
With projects that have application in areas including education, medicine and industry, Trine University’s 22nd annual Allen School of Engineering and Computing Design Expo will offer members of the public the chance to see the knowledge and skills of Trine University students on display.
Vipul Shah, a 1996 Trine University chemical engineering graduate who is now a highly regarded wealth advisor for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will present the keynote address to Trine’s hybrid and online students at the afternoon Commencement ceremony on May 4.
Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, PGA professional and fighter pilot who now leads efforts to assist families of disabled or deceased service members and first responders, will share his insights on leadership and purpose with Trine University graduates during the morning Commencement ceremony on May 4.
