Their expert insights and engaging discussion not only enriched our understanding but also set the stage for continued academic collaboration and cultural exchange.

Bridging Innovation and Education: A Virtual Meeting with Western Virginia University

We are excited to share the success of a recent virtual meeting between the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attache in Washington and distinguished faculty from Western Virginia University (WVU). This engaging discussion centered on exploring collaborative opportunities between Egyptian Institutions and WVU, laying the groundwork for future academic and technological partnerships.

The meeting featured insightful contributions from:

Prof. Allie Harshens, Emeritus - Associate VP of Clinical Operations & Institutional Advancement,
David Stewart, Associate Vice President for International Student Life and Global Services, and
Jonathan Sherman., Neurosurgeon at Berkeley Medical Center.

The WVU faculty showcased several innovative initiatives, including the Glimpse Group, Tenomix Lymenator Technology, and the conceptual design for a Center of Excellence for Technology Assessment and Evaluation. Their enthusiasm and visionary approach underscored a strong commitment to fostering international collaboration that bridges education and technological advancement.

This productive dialogue represents a significant step forward in strengthening ties between American and Egyptian academic communities. We look forward to exploring these promising initiatives further and building a robust framework for future collaborative projects.

Exploring Heritage and Identity: Prof. Nermine Sabry Attends Artist Talk with Jackie Millad on Egyptian Artefacts and Cultural Narratives

Prof. Nermine Sabry, the Director of the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Attache and the director of the Bureau had the pleasure of attending a special artist talk and studio tour with the incredibly talented Baltimore-based artist, Jackie Millad. This inspiring event was hosted by BmoreArt in collaboration with the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) on November 23, 2024.

Jackie Millad, who beautifully merges her Egyptian and Honduran heritage, brought her unique perspective to the conversation. During the talk, she delved into the complex legacies of collecting ancient Egyptian artefacts and examined the ongoing consequences of colonialism within museum practices. Her insights into how the displacement of Egyptian heritage affects both contemporary Egyptian and diasporic communities highlighted an urgent need to reframe these critical narratives.

This event not only showcased Jackie’s incredible work but also opened up essential dialogues about culture, identity, and history. We are grateful to everyone involved for fostering such meaningful discussions and for their commitment to promoting cultural understanding and appreciation.
