U.S. and Taiwan Universities opt for international collaboration for SDG By Amos Lee & Jean Chiu

Ilma Zamurad and Deena Anwar, the initiators of the Inter-NET project at University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), hosted an overseas meeting with the WHC-USR team coordinator Dr. Melody Liao, Dr. Janet Weng, Dr. Janny Sun, Dr. Elodie Xu, with the local student Leader of Zonta Club Yuting Tsai to discuss the possibility of working together for Sustainable Development collaboration at 9 pm on November 2, 2021 Taipei time.

Zamurad from UTD is currently the chairperson of the student body Global Business Organization (GBO). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to collaborate to achieve Sustainable Development Goals and to fulfill the University’s Social Responsibilities, in order to impact the society. The Inter-NET project initiated by GBO aims to connect communities across borders and universities, and share reports through the project, to build sustainable organizations to help members develop SDG in their personal and professional careers eventually.

The WHC-USR project of Wenzao University of Foreign Languages has attempted to eliminate barriers to transnational medical assistance and services, with rich experience in international partnerships. Through this cooperation, WHC-USR can extend the international cooperation from faculty level to student level by student group Zonta Club as the main source of collaboration. This will further broaden the USR experience and long-term partnerships to achieve the ultimate goal of sustainable development.
