Purpose of Visit of
Prof. Leelamma
The primary purpose of Dr. Leelamma's visit to the US in May-June
2007 is to sign an important MOU between Hope College, Holland, MI and
UCC to establish student and teacher exchanges and other cooperative
multicultural program between the two institutions.
Perhaps, a more important purpose of her visit is to meet with the
UCC alumni in the USA and to foster the ties between them and the alma
mater. Union Christian College considers this outreach program very
important. They see the alumni as an important partner in taking the
college to the next level. Originally, Dr. Varghese John and Dr. Sunny
Kuriakose were to attend these meetings. Unfortunately, they could not
secure the necessary travel documents in time. So, rather than delaying
this any further, the college has decided to ask Dr. Leelamma to visit
the US and to meet with the alumni.
Dr. Leelamma will be leaving India on May 10th. She will be in North
Carolina for two days. She will be in Holland, MI from May 14-18.
Dr. Leelamma would like to meet as many alumni as possible. She is
willing to travel anywhere in the US to accomplish this. If you would
like to organize a UCC alumni get together in your area, please contact
