On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Professor Clinton Willson, Dean of the College of the Coast & Environment at Louisiana State University (LSU), paid a courtesy visit to Professor Daniel Duah, Dean of the International Programmes Office (IPO) at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Professor Willson shared that he was leading a group of first-generation students from LSU who were spending a month at the University of Ghana. While in Ghana, he found it important to explore possible collaborations with KNUST’s Department of Environmental Science as part of LSU’s internationalization agenda and as a follow up to an earlier visit by another delegation.
He noted that his interest in visiting Ghana was inspired by his top Ph.D. student, Dr. Godfrey Mills, a proud alumnus of KNUST. Professor Willson expressed that his positive impressions were affirmed by the warmth and hospitality of the Ghanaian communities and people.
Professor Daniel Duah warmly welcomed Professor Willson and provided a comprehensive overview of KNUST. He expressed the IPO’s delight in hosting him and conveyed his enthusiasm about the potential collaboration. He assured Professor Willson of IPO’s commitment to advancing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) following further discussions with the Department of Environmental Science.
Also present at the meeting were Mrs. Yvonne Baiden, Senior Assistant Registrar; Mr. Livingstone Agbenorxevi, Assistant Collaborations and Partnerships Officer; and Mr. Attah-Nyame Essampong, Visibility and Communications Officer – all of the IPO.
