Associate Professor of Economics and Marketing Frances Lea, assistant professor of English Sunithi Gnanadoss, and Director of Center for Workforce & Community Education Martha O’Keefe are on the Germanna team. Traveling with them will be Gene Bailey, president of the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance.
The group will be visiting six Indian cities and several universities, as well as business and government sites to learn more about Indian higher education and culture as well as explore possibilities for education, workforce training, and business partnerships.
"We see both the internal and external marketing possibilities, including the innovative partnership between Germanna and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance and the cultural exchange between the people of North and South India and Virginia," said Germanna Vice President of Academics and Student Services Ann Woolford-Singh.
