US Ambassador to Jordan Henry T. Wooster launches binational higher education cooperation project – Roya News English

US Ambassador to Jordan Henry T. Wooster, alongside representatives from renowned US and Jordanian universities, officially launched the “RAWABIT” Binational Higher Education Cooperation Network project at a ceremony hosted by one of the Crown Prince Foundation initiatives, Al-Hussein Technical University Monday.

RAWABIT—meaning “Connections”—will foster collaboration and information-sharing among Jordanian and US universities, vocational and technical schools, and professional training academies, to enhance institutional capacity and promote university-industry partnerships.

Ambassador Wooster underscored the importance of expanding and diversifying higher education partnerships between the United States and Jordan. Expressing appreciation for the collaborative efforts and progressive vision demonstrated by the RAWABIT project, Ambassador Wooster said, “The universities and educational institutions represented in this room today, and those that will inevitably join us in the future, are brought together by a common cause, to help build up the next generation of Jordanians to deliver prosperity to their country, and I want you to know that the United States—both its government and academia—stand with you.”
