Chevron Bangladesh has signed a deal with Asian University for Women (AUW) to support the university’s recruitment of quality faculty embers.
The deal was signed on November 3 under which Chevron provides $250,000 as support.
Chevron also agreed to launch an internship programme for the students from next year. This is the second year that it has extended such support.
Geoffrey A Strong, president of Chevron Bangla-desh, and Omar Shareef, chief operating officer of AUW, were also present.
“Chevron is proud to be a partner of such a noble cause,” said Strong, also a member of the AUW advisory board.
Shareef appreciated Chevron for the support and contribution. He said the university aims to prepare women of high abilities and potential to meet society’s challenges.
AUW’s 416 students come from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, China, India, Pakistan, Palestine and Vietnam.
“This diversity enhances the international learning experience promised by the university that is based in Chittagong,” Shareef said.
Chevron Bangladesh is a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, a leading integrated global energy company. Chevron is based in San Ramon, California.
