Queen’s University in Kingston has launched a unique partnership with a university in Ethiopia. Two professors from the University of Gondar, located in Ethiopa’s former capital city of Gondar, moved to Kingston a few months ago. They were welcomed at a ceremony held at the Agnes Etherington Arts Centre on the grounds of Queen’s. Molalign Adugna and Mulugeta Chala both teach in Ethiopia and, for the next four years, they will be PhD students at Queen’s. They are first of many teachers-turned-students to join the 10-year, $24-million academic and research collaboration funded by the Mastercard Foundation.
