Project Title: Co-Develop New and Strengthen Existing Curriculum in Community Development and Agricultural extension
Goal: The main objective is to boost the ability of the department to offer student-centered courses
Project Impact: The short-term and long-term outcome is to improve the quality of the delivery of student-centered courses in line with SUA’s vision. The fellow will have an opportunity to form long-term ties with the department for other academic collaborations in the future. The collaboration will also pave way for other staff from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) to collaborate with SUA.
Sustainability: We envision collaborating with the fellow and Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in research and other academic exchanges. The department has developed a platform to host students and faculty to come and do their research. Dr. Bukenya will help the department attract students and faculty from his institution to come be hosted at the department.
