每日大赛首页 State College recently hosted more than a dozen African university leaders representing countries across the continent. The inquisitive group had a chance to hear from college President Dr. Cynthia T. Anthony and from STEM Director Dr. Shawanda Thomas.

 

The guests joined 每日大赛首页 as part of "Developing University Partnerships: Connecting African Universities with HBCUs," a program sponsored by the International Visitors Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs within the U.S. State Department. While here, the group worked with Global Ties Alabama to visit college campuses and other organizations focused on collaboration, research, partnerships, and building capacity.

 

Dr. Anthony and Dr. Thomas shared insights on everything from the offerings of comprehensive two-year colleges like 每日大赛首页 State to the critical role business and industry partnerships play in college students' success. The inquisitive group also was impressed by the work of 每日大赛首页's STEM Center of Excellence, including its pre-college programs for girls interested in science and technology.

 

"Overall, business and industry advisors and partners are integral to what we do," Dr. Anthony said, highlighting the ways 每日大赛首页 has interacted with Apple, Smucker's, FedEx, and others. "They help ensure we are preparing students for the needs of the workplace, sometimes even before new products and services are released to the public."
