Three CSUSB faculty members attend seminar in Ghana

Cal State San Bernardino professors Vipin Gupta, (business), Tiffany Jones, (history) and Arianna Huhn, (anthropology), were among 21 California State University (CSU) faculty members selected to attend the “Ghana Calls” faculty seminar in Accra, Ghana. For one week, faculty representatives, along with members of the CSU administration and the CSU International Programs Ghana office, gathered to discuss the scope of African Studies and best practices in supporting students’ international programs and study abroad experiences, and to explore opportunities for collegial collaborations. “It was really refreshing to spend so much quality time with a group of individuals affiliated with the CSU, who could speak to the same challenges and opportunities in promoting African Studies and study abroad,” said Huhn. “Meeting colleagues from across the CSU campuses and across the disciplines created an extraordinary opportunity for mutual scholarly exchange about one of the world's fastest growing regions," Gupta added. CSUSB had more representation at the seminar than any other CSU campus, with both Gupta and Jones presenting papers on their own work.
