Webster University Ghana partnered with GUBA Diaspora Network to support the 2nd Diaspora Conversations Conference 2023 on Monday, 3rd January at the Ecobank Ghana Head Office. Webster Ghana was present with an information stand sharing materials for undergraduate and graduate student prospects and a representative gave in-person and online attendees an insight to the investment opportunities in Ghana in the Education Sector.
The Diaspora Conversations Conference with the theme,’A Journey Through Ghana’ provided the global African diasporan community with information and guidance needed to connect, transition, do business and invest in Ghana.
“Navigating living, studying or maintaining a business in Ghana’s unique terrain takes guidance and experience. It was important for Webster to partner with GUBA for The Diaspora Conversations Conference to highlight opportunities in education at Webster University Ghana with the diasporan community and to share the platform with government agencies, investors and entrepreneurs whose insights can contribute to a successful transition to Ghana,” shared Christa Sanders-Bobtoya, the Director of Webster University’s Ghana Campus who has been involved in the field of international education for the last two decades.
