Over 80 participants representing public and private higher education institutions in Ethiopia, American scholars, Ethiopian alumni of U.S. exchange programs, and other key stakeholders in the education sector attended the opening day of the workshop. Ambassador Michael Raynor focused on the effort to share best practices from the U.S. perspective. "We look to U.S. universities to help our young people develop new ideas, encounter new experiences, broaden critical thinking skills, think about their place in the world, and prepare themselves to be productive members of society. Each day of the workshop focused on specific themes including internationalization, implementing quality assurance and partnerships, and institutional development and capacity building. The workshop is being facilitated by Dr Charles Bankart, Associate Vice Provost for International Programs, at the University of Kansas.
