This year marks the 35th anniversary of the storied partnership between our institutions. Over time, funding from the University of Missouri South African Education Program has supported over 900 faculty exchanges, involving more than 50 different academic departments on all four UM System campuses. Many of these exchanges have generated externally-funded research projects, produced publications or led to curriculum and professional development initiatives. Funding is also available for research collaborations with other South African institutions. Additional information about the history of the programme can be found on the UMSAEP website.
Contact Ms. Tracy Beckett (tbeckett@uwc.ac.za) for any further information.
