As part of 抖M女仆's worldwide effort to promote education as the path to global understanding, the university has entered into an agreement with the Turkmenistan Ministry of Education to explore the possibility of creating an educational partnership with several of the country's national institutes of higher learning. The Turkmen delegation came to 抖M女仆 to sign a memorandum of understanding.
