With the MOU, both organizations will jointly enhance learning programs, especially those related to sustainable development and non-profit management, and provide an avenue for beneficiaries of ROL to enhance knowledge through a distance learning model.
The MOU was officially approved on Feb 11, 2005, by Dr Douglass Capogrossi, President, Akamai University, and signed earlier by Dom. Klaus Schlapps, OPR, President, Regency of Lomar. The initial term for the MOU is two (2) years from Feb 11, 2005, and can be renewed thereafter.
The purpose of affiliation
The affiliating organizations, Akamai University and Regency of Lomar, being like-minded organizations with missions that are mutually supportive of one another, seek to join forces through a limited form of institutional affiliation to work together to support the successful achievement of both organizations` purposes. While as affiliates, both organizations remain fully autonomous organizations, freely electing to join forces to some degree toward human betterment.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by both organizations, Akamai University will be the exclusive and official distance learning tertiary education institution for the Regency of Lomar (ROL), for the benefit of ROL beneficiaries, which can be refugees or unrepresented people under the care of ROL missions around the world. Akamai University will provide tiered tuition reductions for its learning programs for ROL officials and beneficiaries, especially programs related to non-profit management.
ROL officials, by virtue of their hands-on fieldwork in administering humanitarian aid, will provide insights to improving Akamai University`s curriculum design and delivery of academic programs related to non-profit management and other programs intended to advance the human condition.
"From its conception, the mission of Akamai University has been predicated on the premise that amelioration of world problems and the creation of sustainable lifestyles and global practices are the hallmarks of responsible individual and corporate world citizenship," says Dr Douglass Capogrossi, President, Akamai University. "As a young institution, we have been careful in the selection of our friends, thereby assuring our companions to be likeminded with Akamai. The Regency of Lomar clearly fits our expectations both in purpose and in action. It is our sincere hope that through mutuality and collaboration we might raise our own level of global consciousness, as well as participate in support of the worthy activities of the Regency of Lomar."
"I am very excited about the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Akamai University and the Regency of Lomar. Both organizations are dedicated to make the world a better place. Akamai University has been chosen as an exclusive educational partner because it has dedicated faculty with an high level of educational expertise on education and a well-developed curriculum to educate people on sustainable development," says Dom. Klaus Schlapps, OPR, President, Regency of Lomar. "On our side we have the people out in the fields who can certainly benefit from acquiring more knowledge through distance learning programs with Akamai University. At the same time, we can provide our own practical field experience to lend scenarios and case studies to Akamai`s curriculum. We can also offer the opportunities for practical outreach for Akamai`s graduate students. With joined forces we can accelerate our common efforts and enforce the public awareness to the goals and needs of our partners."
Both organizations will feature this affiliation through their official and affiliated websites, and will use their own channels to announce and further this collaboration.
