The agreement will enhance the achievements in teaching, research and the cultural development of both institutions through scholarly exchange opportunities for faculty and professional staff to participate in curriculum development and research, and for visiting students to pursue academic programs and activities. A meeting was held between representatives from both schools at 鶹 College on June 3 during which the agreement was signed by Provost Beth Barnett and KNUST Vice Chancellor Dr. Kwasi Kwafo Adarkwah. Others in attendance from Ghana included Professor S.I.K. Ampadu, KNUST head of Civil Engeering, Dr. K. Adom Asamoah, KNUST professor of Civil Engineering and Kofi Owusu Daaku, KNUST professor of Biology and 鶹 College adjunct professor.

Gorewitz also worked with two 鶹 College students, senior Marie Hargrove of Newark and Anthony Harris 10 of Trenton, who completed a two-week independent study at KNUST. Professor Daaku has taught classes in the School of Theoretical and Applied Sciences at RCNJ during summer sessions. # # # # For media inquiries, contact Anna Farneski, assistant vice president, Marketing and Communications, 201.684.6844. ./VWXkl{}u{ d | B I ^ u L `  h-pCJOJQJ^JaJ hch-pCJOJQJ^JaJ hch-ph-phW,6h-p5 h-p5hnh-p0Jjhnh-pUjhnh-pU hnh-phnh-p53mn{|}   gd-p $da$gd-p$a$gd-pgd-p .&P1F:p-p/ =!"#$%#DyK yK 6mailto:afarnesk@ramapo.edu@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH H@H C Heading 1$@&5OJPJQJaJH@H K Heading 4$<@& 5CJaJDA@D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No ListB^@B C Normal (Web)dd[$\$HH .Q Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJ4U@4  Hyperlink >*ph*W@!* KStrong5\fB@2f @ Body Text$dh*$1$a$%B*OJPJQJ^J_HaJphtHe@B @ HTML Preformatted= 2( Px 4 #\'*.25@9*$1$CJOJQJ^JaJtH !z mn{|} 0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0Pmn|} X@ 0@(X@ 0@({00{00{00{00@0{00{00`=%`=%`=%`=%`=%00     .Wk X8@0(  B S  ?$,7<kpu{!#(7@IM,-}|::nq@Ђ#Q p @UnknownGTimes New Roman5Symbol3 Arial3Times5 Tahoma?
