Dr. Rahman Khokhar, Associate Professor of Finance, has returned from a productive week-long Erasmus+ visit to Wrocław University of Economics and Business (UEW) in Poland. This visit, part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Program, aimed to foster international collaboration and enrich the academic experience for both institutions.

During his time at UEW, Dr. Khokhar delivered lectures on "Conducting Research in Finance" and "Working Capital Management" to finance students, offering them insights into Canadian teaching approaches and enhancing their multicultural learning. The visit also included discussions with the International Cooperation Centre Director and the Head of Section Erasmus Institutional Coordinator regarding the future of the partnership.

This engagement builds on an existing relationship with Professor Magdalena Chmielowiec-Lewczuk, Associate Professor and Finance Program Manager at UEW, who previously visited SMU in June 2024. These exchanges are important ways for exploring opportunities for joint research, curriculum development, and future student and faculty exchanges, ultimately benefiting teaching pedagogy and broadening academic perspectives at both universities.
