Ethiraj College for Women in Chennai has signed a memorandum of understanding with US-based public accounting and advocacy firm Weaver and Tidwell LLP to boost industry-academia partnership.
The collaboration includes industry interactions, internships, live projects, student mentoring, competitions, and hackathons. It also offers faculty-industry interaction and faculty immersion programmes.
The firm will provide two annual scholarships for deserving students. The MoU was signed by Suryanarayanan T.S., Partner at Weaver and Tidwell, and V.M. Muralidharan, Chairman of Ethiraj College.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The MoU addresses a gap in exposure for women's college students in Chennai to global accounting practices. Ethiraj College, a 75-year-old institution, has been expanding corporate tie-ups to improve placement. Weaver and Tidwell, based in Texas, operates in over 30 US states. The two annual scholarships are modest but signal a recurring commitment. The real test will be the number of internships and placements that materialise in the next academic year.
