MSU, Liberian university sign MoU

GBARNGA, BONG COUNTY, Liberia – Liberia’s Cuttington University (CU) signed a five-year memorandum of understanding with Mississippi State University (MSU) to provide for faculty and student exchanges, joint research projects in mutual interest areas, and study abroad opportunities for faculty. The areas of particular interest to CU and MSU were developing community service capacity; innovative food systems (aquaculture, food preservation); animal and planet (environmental) health; health care (pediatric, maternal and geriatrics); and early childhood education (development and special needs). MSU is a leader in Agrobusiness, innovative research, and community service. The next step, according to MSU Provost Dr. Judith Bonner, will involve detailed discussions in Liberia on how to put the collaborative enterprise into operation. (Source: Front Page Africa 05//15/19)
