Onesimus Otieno, Ph.D., professor of Biological Sciences at Oakwood University, has been awarded a fellowship by the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) to work with Dr. Daniel Ganu of the Adventist University of Africa in Kenya, developing Active Learning tools for the online learning environment in their Masters in Public Health program.
The project is part of a broader initiative that will pair 55 CADFP scholars with one of 43 higher education institutions and collaborators in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda to work together on curriculum co-development, research, graduate teaching, training, and mentoring activities in the coming months.
The visiting Fellows will work with their hosts on a wide range of projects that include controlling malaria, strengthening peace and conflict studies, developing a new master’s degree in emergency medicine, archiving African indigenous knowledge, creating low cost water treatment technologies, and building capacity in microbiology and pathogen genomics.
