Auro University recently hosted a visit by executives from Marriott International, a significant event that unfolded on January 11th and 12th, 2024. This occasion marked a comprehensive exploration of potential collaborations and partnerships.
In 2021, Auro University and Marriott International signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance training and learning opportunities for students and faculty members of the university, leveraging the industry connections that Marriott International brings to the table. The purpose of the recent visit, led by our founder-president, Shri HP Rama, was to strengthen the relationship between Marriott International and Auro University.
