Partnership With Brandeis University
Brandeis University and Al Quds have enjoyed sister institution status since 1998 when Jehuda Reinharz of Brandeis and Sari Nusseibeh decided to formalize the ´Brandeis-Al-Quds Partnership´. Cooperation and institution building is a fundamental part of this partnership. In 2008 and 2009 Brandeis and Al Quds Students met in Istanbul as part of the Brandeis-Al-Quds Summer Institutue to discuss the theoretical concept of a ´good society´ through literature, political documents, and travel journals. In May 2009, a Brandeis delegation of four undergraduates and eight faculty members visited Al Quds University to strengthen the partnership and explore future cooperation. Al Quds students are expected to visit Brandeis in the fall of 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words partnership and/or university:
“Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
