APRU is exploring the organization of deans’ meetings that could lay the foundation for substantially enhancing collaboration among students and faculty at APRU member universities. The meetings present an opportunity to improve teaching, research and outreach activities among members, as well as to share best practices in areas such as alumni relations, career services and fundraising. As a start, pilot meetings for Business School Deans and Education School Deans have been planned. If successful, the meetings would serve as a model for future meetings of other designated faculties.
