Building Bridges Working towards a future of Collaboration and Peace. Building Bridges was founded to re-establish the great relationships between the East and the West that have rapidly deteriorated in recent years. We are utilizing the existing infrastructures between American and International organizations, establishing new relationships between the United States and other countries, as well as creating opportunities locally for people living in the same region to celebrate each others culture. The Building Bridges Summit in 2009 is taking place in California’s capitol city of Sacramento. Seven esteemed leaders from four Egyptian Universities represent the delegation attending the Egypt Summit. The delegation consists of professors, deans and heads of departments from Alexandria University, Beni Sweif University, Cairo University, and Zagazig University. They will participate in progressive discussions with leaders from University of California, Davis and UC Davis School of Medicine on seven key areas: telemedicine, health informatics, continuing medical education, technology based learning, public health, distance education, and faculty development and technology (including faculty and student exchanges), in an effort to form an actionable plan for future collaborations.
His Excellency Minister Amin Abaza, Egyptian Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation visited with several leaders in Food Science and Technology to share advancements and discuss collaborative opportunities in horticulture, entomology, biotechnology, and more.
In 2008, Kais Menoufy partnered with Dean Elizabeth Parker from the University Of Pacific McGeorge School Of Law to lead a second delegation to Egypt. The Building Bridges II trip to Egypt focused on building stronger relationships between the people of California and Egypt which will reinforce the structural components for peaceful collaboration. In 2007, UC Davis Chancellor, Larry Vanderhoef and Delegata CEO, Kais Menoufy, led a delegation from UC Davis to Egypt to expand existing exchange programs and create new initiatives where none are currently in place. Since returning from Egypt, exchange programs have taken place between professors of Middle Eastern Universities and United States Universities, and training programs have been provided for Egyptian farm managers. Another delegation is traveling to Egypt in 2008 to continue the work of 2007’s Building Bridges trip to Egypt. Learn more about the continued work from the 2007 Building Bridges trip here.

The first Building Bridges Summit took place in March 2007. UC Davis Chancellor, Larry Vanderhoef and Delegata CEO, Kais Menoufy, traveled with a delegation from UC Davis to Egypt to meet with 12 other universities, government officials and business leaders. The 2007 Delegation expanded existing exchange programs and created new initiatives where none were previously. Larry is a true leader with a mission to make UCD a leading university in the US and to build bridges worldwide between cultures, countries, schools, and more importantly - People.
Since returning from Egypt in March 2007, Professor Dick Walters has accepted a request by the Chancellor and is supported by Delegata Corporation to take on a leadership position with UC Davis’ International Relations office to continue the work that was started during Building Bridges I by coordinating projects involving Egypt and UC Davis.
