The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau was delighted to welcome eight passionate students—both graduate and undergraduate—from the University of Montreal as part of the African Union Simulation program arranged by Howard University. In collaboration with Windsor University in the USA, this enriching visit offered a vibrant glimpse into Egypt’s cultural legacy.

The day began with an engaging tour of our bureau museum, where the students experienced firsthand the rich tapestry of Egyptian heritage. The carefully curated exhibits set the stage, offering insights into Egypt’s storied past and its timeless contributions to art, architecture, and science.

Following the museum tour, the students embarked on a virtual journey to Egypt through an interactive presentation delivered by the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché. The session was dynamic and filled with lively discussions, as the students eagerly asked questions and shared their insights. Their genuine curiosity underscored the importance of cultural exchange and the value of learning about our traditions and modern realities.

The visit was further enhanced by an authentic taste of Egypt. Students savored traditional Egyptian food and drinks, enjoyed captivating videos showcasing Egypt’s landscapes and people, and even participated in fun games highlighting our beloved celebrities. These activities not only entertained but also deepened their understanding of Egyptian culture.

Adding to the day’s excitement, Egyptian students from Windsor University joined us, fostering a friendly atmosphere of knowledge exchange and discussion. This collaborative spirit reinforced the bonds between our institutions and demonstrated how cultural diplomacy can bridge diverse communities.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants and partners for making this day a memorable celebration of learning, culture, and international friendship.

The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attaché, Prof. Nermine Sabry, had the pleasure of visiting Temple University to explore potential avenues for collaboration. The visit was meticulously organized by Dr. Martyn J. Miller, Assistant Vice President for Global Engagement. and Prof. Magid Abou-Gharbia, Laura H. Carnell Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Our journey began at the School of Dentistry, where we had a productive discussion with Prof. Amid Ismail, generating insightful ideas for future collaboration. The tour of the school was beyond expectations, showcasing state-of-the-art facilities and a strong commitment to excellence in education and research.

Next, we visited the School of Pharmacy, where we toured Dr. Abou-Gharbia's lab and engaged in fruitful discussions with the Dean and the Head of Pharmacy Practice. The exchange of ideas highlighted exciting possibilities for academic and research partnerships. Thank you for the Pharmacy Pin.

At the School of Public Health, we were warmly received by the Dean, Jennifer Ibrahim, whose enthusiasm for collaboration was truly inspiring. A delightful personal connection was also discovered—her husband is Egyptian.

Our visit continued with high-level discussions, including a meeting with the University Provost, Prof. Gregory N. Mandel, culminating in a final discussion with Vice Provost Emilia Zankina. These meetings reinforced Temple University’s openness to deeper cooperation with Egyptian institutions.

The visit concluded on a particularly meaningful note—a meeting with Egyptian undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at Temple. Engaging with them was a reminder of the bright future ahead, as these students serve as cultural and academic ambassadors between our two nations.

We look forward to strengthening the academic bridge between Egypt and Temple University and fostering impactful partnerships that benefit students, researchers, and institutions on both sides.WhatsApp_Image_2025-02-15_at_22.25.14.jpegWhatsApp_Image_2025-02-15_at_21.54.07.jpeg
