Seattle University, in association with the RoundGlass Foundation, has announced the launch of the RoundGlass India Center, a key step in fostering cross-regional collaboration between Seattle and India, encouraging discussion, collaboration, and multidisciplinary research.
“In partnership with the RoundGlass Foundation, Seattle University is uniquely positioned to build on the existing connections between Seattle and India among the business, academic and other communities,” remarked Eduardo Peñalver, president of Seattle University.
The Center's activities will include high-level public events in Seattle that will bring together leaders from both nations' business, law, government, and other sectors. It will also encourage economic growth, the rule of law, and justice in India, with a concentration on the state of Punjab. In addition, it will grant scholarships for Indian students to study at Seattle University.
Sital Kalantry has been named executive director of The RoundGlass India Center. Kalantry is a Professor of Law and the Associate Dean of International Programs and Graduate Studies at Seattle University. His research focuses on comparative legal studies in India.
“The RoundGlass India Center will create opportunities for high-level substantive events on India in Seattle, scholarships for students from India and will build on Roundglass Foundation’s deep commitment to economic development and rule of law in the state of Punjab,” said Gurpreet (Sunny) Singh, founder of the RoundGlass Foundation.
The center was launched at recently held Seattle-Setu conference. The full-day conference, hosted by Seattle University in collaboration with Greater Seattle Partners, brought together business leaders, lawyers, philanthropists and civic leaders, as well as renowned scholars from India and the United States, to engage in meaningful discussions aimed at forging and expanding bridges between the two countries.
The event also included a speech by Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and a taped message from Infosys founder Narayana Murthy.
