Kigali, Rwanda – The University of Rwanda (UR) is excited to announce the beginning of a new Master of Science degree program in Agribusiness. The gender-sensitive degree program will enroll its first cohort of students in February 2015.
The degree program was developed in partnership with Michigan State University (MSU) with funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Women’s Leadership Program, implemented globally by Higher Education for Development (HED).
The graduate program is prioritizing accessibility to women and mid-career professionals, and is incorporating extensive experiential learning opportunities for the students. The structure of this program in particular will require all students to partake in an internship opportunity thus better preparing them for leadership and entrepreneurial roles in agriculture in Rwanda.
“Agriculture is vital to the people and economy of Rwanda and many of those involved in agriculture are women. Their input to the business of agriculture is essential. It is also important that agriculture adopts a modern business strategy because it is a business and all those involved must learn the relevant skills," said Emeritus Professor James McWha Vice Chancellor University of Rwanda. " This program brings together all the components necessary for a major development of the future of the agriculture and food industries in Rwanda.”
Using a collaborative approach, the Women’s Leadership Program is designed to support access of women to higher education and advanced degrees, strengthen institutional capacity in research and education on women’s leadership, and promote women’s leadership through higher education extension/outreach efforts in underserved communities.
“The empowerment of women through the expansion of their leadership opportunities and spaces for their voices to be heard is a top priority for USAID globally, including in Rwanda,” said Joseph Lessard, USAID/Rwanda Economic Growth Director. “We really believe this program will give women rich opportunities to share their expertise and play major roles in the country’s economic development. We congratulate the University of Rwanda and Michigan State University on this achievement, and look forward to seeing how it will benefit Rwanda into the future.”
Michigan State University has a rich history of working collaboratively with the Rwandan government and their institutes of higher education.
“It has been a great honor to continue the tradition of our two universities working together to advance the agriculture sector in Rwanda,” said Dr. Gretchen Neisler, Principle Investigator on this project from MSU. “Working collaboratively on the Rwanda Women’s Leadership Program has been very rewarding. I look forward to strengthening our partnership with UR through the continued development of this degree program. I am also excited to explore new and innovative ways for our two universities to work together to educate the next generation of thought leaders at both Michigan State University and the University of Rwanda.”
##The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the foreign assistance agency of the United States Government. USAID supports $150 million of development assistance annually to Rwanda, with programs in health, economic development, education, and democracy and governance.

New Castle County - Urban Award: The Challenge Program
Andrew McKnight, Executive Director
The Challenge Program is being recognized for the construction of its new Delaware headquarters on the banks of the Christina River in downtown Wilmington. The Challenge Program is a construction training program serving “at-risk” youth in northern Delaware. Private contractors work in partnership with program staff and trainees during all phases of construction and provide real-world examples of work experience. This project will showcase the environmental benefits of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building construction technology with its use of recycled building materials, geothermal heating, captured rainwater from its green roof and solar panels with the hands on training of the urban youth by skilled instructors and sub-contractors. The new headquarters will house classrooms, offices, conference and computer rooms and shop space.
The FIU Accounting Bridge program is a 2-day summer program for selected college-bound students. During the 2 days participants will have the opportunity to meet professionals who studied in accounting and now have lucrative, secure, and fascinating jobs.

Central Campus' Aviation Program moved its aircraft to its new location on County Line Road. The move was divided into three groups. Photoed here is the first group that included the Lear Jet and the MU2 on route. The Lear Jet is the largest aircraft and, at one point during the move, only had four inches of clearance between telephone poles on County Line Road. Despite the tight fit, the first group made it to their new home safe and sound!
The second group was the Cessna 172 and Cessna 310, and the third group was the Bell AH1 helicopter.
The route for these aircraft was as follows:
McKinley to Fleur
Fleur to Army Post
Army Post to SW 9th
SW 9th to County Line Road
