I had the honour of leading a delegation of staff from the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol, to a high-level meeting with the authorities of the University of The Gambia (UTG), including the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Herbert Robinson.
The engagement focused on exploring possible areas of collaboration, particularly in Transnational Education (TNE), staff development, and creating pathways for UTG students to further their studies at UWE, Bristol. While this is still a work in progress, I am encouraged by the positive discussions and the tangible outcomes already beginning to emerge alongside my broader recruitment efforts.
I am grateful for the openness and commitment shown by the UTG leadership, and I remain optimistic about what this partnership can deliver in the near future. Above all, I give thanks to God for the guidance and support that continue to make positive progress possible within such a short time.
Building bridges, creating opportunities, and strengthening institutional partnerships remain at the heart of my work.
