The University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Sunyani Technical University (STU) of Ghana recently signed an articulation agreement that would create a detailed plan to initiate specific activities necessary to develop a sustainable pipeline of STU students in its pharmaceutical sciences program as a feeder for UMES\u2019s Doctor of Pharmacy program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents were signed during a ceremony that included UMES President Heidi M. Anderson<\/strong>, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Rondall Allen<\/strong>, Dr. T. Sean Vasaitis<\/strong>, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions Interim Dean, and delegation members from STU including Vice-Chancellor Professor Ing. Kwadwo Adinkrah-Appiah<\/strong>, and Samuel Obour<\/strong> STU\u2019s registrar and COO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adinkrah-Appiah said the pact will have a profound impact on both UMES and STU as it will deepen the relationship between the institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis articulation agreement is a fulfillment of a memorandum of understanding for our two institutions signed way back in 2017,\u201d he said. \u201cMadam President, we are very grateful for this opportunity. This is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allen said the agreement not only allows STU students to make an impact on the student community but to potentially play a role in solving a dilemma in the medical professional field locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis agreement will allow us to continue to address the need for healthcare professionals and practitioners here on the Eastern Shore,\u201d he said. \u201cI am also looking forward to having these students come over and enliven the experience that currently exists here at UMES.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat you have done has been a big credit to the university, to Ghana, and the world,\u201d Obour said. \u201cToday is a memorable day.\u201d The event concluded with a ceremonial exchange of gifts between the members of the two institutions as well as the offering of a formal invitation to Anderson and the UMES delegation to attend STU\u2019s commencement ceremony in January 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
