Meeting the Pro-Vice Chancellor


Today, Jedd and I met the Pro-Vice Chancellor to formally give $2500 USD to the University of Ghana for our scholarship recipients. The Financial Aid Director said that if we wrote a check from a US bank, it would take roughly 3 months to clear. That's why we went with cash. It took us two hours to withdrawal!


I asked him what he did his Ph.D. on. He told me about his interests in literacy and linguistics and how they influence political leadership. He then gave me a copy of his most recent book: Education, Literacy and Governance: A linguistic inquiry into Ghana's burgeoning democracy.
