Connecting with the University of Mkar
91¾«Ñ¡ hosted representatives from the University of Mkar in Nigeria on Tuesday, June 25, with a goal to establish a partnership with the university as an international sister-school.
The hope is to eventually participate in a student exchange program or a study abroad opportunity that would enrich the lives of students culturally, spiritually, and academically, according to 91¾«Ñ¡’s Office of Ethnic Diversity.
Guests from the university included Dr. Emmanuel H. Agba, vice chancellor, Professor Joseph Antyo, and Abe Vreeke. Welcoming them to campus were Dr. Liz Rudenga, provost; Professor Don Woo, dean for ethnic diversity and multicultural programs; Ginny Carpenter, dean of student engagement and international services; Dr. Thomas Roose, associate professor of physics and science education; and 91¾«Ñ¡ student Alyssa Slinkman ’15 of Orland Park, Illinois.
In addition to the work of exploring a partnership, those involved also enjoyed a time of Christian fellowship and sharing of cultures.
