On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, a team of three Art students from Norfolk State University, USA, paid a courtesy visit to Professor Daniel Duah, Dean of the International Programmes Office (IPO) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). The team, led by Dr. Shafeeq Ameen, comprised Miss Vanessa McKinnon, Miss Jayde Coache, and Miss Jira Gardner.
The delegation was introduced to the IPO by Professor Samuel Nortey, a Professor in the Department of Industrial Art at KNUST. He noted that the group was undertaking a study abroad programme with KNUST’s Department of Industrial Art and had come to formally engage with the International Programmes Office as part of their academic and cultural immersion.
The visiting students expressed their appreciation for the warm hospitality they have received in Ghana. They commended the local cuisine and the friendliness of the Ghanaian people, highlighting how these experiences are enriching their cultural understanding.
Professor Daniel Duah warmly welcomed the team and emphasized the importance of international collaborations to KNUST’s mission. He noted that student mobility programmes such as these are crucial for cross-cultural learning and knowledge exchange, offering diverse perspectives on shared global challenges.
He assured the visitors that the International Programmes Office would serve as their second home during their stay and wished them a rewarding and memorable experience at KNUST.
Also present at the meeting were Mrs. Yvonne Baiden, Senior Assistant Registrar; Miss Ernestine Oheneba Danso, Collaborations and Partnerships Officer; Mr. Livingstone Agbenorxevi, Assistant Collaborations and Partnerships Officer; and Mr. Attah-Nyame Essampong, Visibility and Communications Officer – all of the IPO.
