"I was deeply impressed by the efforts of my Brock colleagues to develop positive, productive relationships that will strengthen the University's impact in India."
As well as several recruitment consultants, the delegates met with Chandigarh University, Chitkara University, Amity University, Lovely Professional University and the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, which has more than 150 member organizations from India, Canada and other countries.
