Greensboro, NC: Dr. Daniel D. Godfrey, dean of NC
A&T's School of Agriculture, recently traveled to Washington, DC, to
participate in a roundtable discussion, "An Education Initiative for
Africa."
The discussion, which was held at the White House, was scheduled in preparation
for President Clinton's visit to Africa last month.
"The A&T School of Agriculture has a long history of collaboration
with African countries," said Godfrey, who cites work with the Faculty
of Agriculture at the University of Fort Hare on developing a "taught"
master's degree in agricultural economics, and exploration of possible
distance education linkages with South Africa's University of the North
and University of Zululand, as examples of such collaboration.
"The Clinton administration's commitment to investigating projects
in Africa is a step in the right direction, and we at A&T are behind
any initiatives where our involvement is appropriate," said Godfrey.
