Virginia State University has signed a new agreement with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. Under the new agreement, the two institutions have established a framework for academic cooperation that will create new opportunities for student and faculty exchanges, collaborative research, leadership development initiatives, and cross-cultural learning experiences.
“This represents a pathway for global leadership development for faculty and students,” said Lisa M. Hopson, executive director of global leadership and talent development at Virginia State University. “Through the exchange of ideas and collaborative research initiatives, we can begin to establish a truly global perspective that engages the world with purpose. At Virginia State University, Greater Happens Here.”
Daniel M. Roberts, founding dean of the Dr. Charlie W. Hill Honors College and senior international officer at Virginia State University, added, “Our students live in an interconnected global environment. The connections we create beyond the classroom will benefit all. VSU looks forward to working with our colleagues in Ghana and expanding research initiatives that will benefit both institutions.”
