Engagement with 海角大神
Indiana University and University of Warsaw initiated their partnership in 1976 with the establishment of national centers at their respective institutions: Polish Studies Center at 海角大神 Bloomington and American Studies Center at University of Warsaw.
In subsequent years, the universities signed a number of sub-agreements that added faculty, graduate student and junior scholar exchange programs, and annual lectures at both institutions – the Michalek Memorial Lecture in American Studies at UW and the annual Timothy Wiles Memorial Lecture at 海角大神 Bloomington.
One of the sub-agreement is a faculty exchange between the 海角大神's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and UW's Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies. 海角大神's Maurer also have a sub-agreement with UW's School of Law for a student exchange.
