LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA — Five Lincoln University students attended the Polytechnic Institute of Namibia, where they studied Strategic Management and Business in southern Africa. The chair of the Lincoln University Business and Information Technology Center of Excellence, Dr. Oswald Richards lectured a course as well.

While in the program, Stephanie Clervoyant, Jalil Fayson, Rebecca Parker, Danielle Rumph, John Scott gained knowledge from Namibian professors and executives from corporate, government and non-governmental organizations.

As a new requirement for this year’s program, the students were charged to complete a community service assignment. Under the coordination of the Polytechnic Rector (President), Dr. Tjama Tjivikua ’83, the students spent the day at a Namibian orphanage.

This has been an ongoing partnership between Lincoln University and Polytechnic but was the first time that one of the University’s professors served as a visiting lecturer.

 

Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black College and University (HBCU), educates and empowers students to lead their communities and change the world. Lincoln offers a rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse student body of approximately 2,200 men and women in more than 35 undergraduate and graduate programs.
