US, Ethiopia celebrate successful completion of leadership program 

The United States Embassy in Ethiopia, in partnership with Texas Tech University, The Ohio State University, Oklahoma State University, and the Ethiopian Ministry of Education, hosted a closing ceremony for the Leadership, Management, and Governance (LMG) program on August 15 and 16 at Skylight Hotel. 

The LMG program, a cornerstone of the U.S. State Department’s University Partnership Initiative (UPI), has successfully equipped fifty university presidents and vice presidents from 37 of Ethiopia’s public universities with the essential educational leadership and institutional management skills needed to drive higher education excellence.  Over the past two years, participants benefited from in-country training and immersive study tours to Texas Tech, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State Universities, fostering a deeper understanding of best practices and challenges in higher education leadership and administration. 

“Allow me to begin by congratulating all of you on your successful completion of the Leadership, Management, and Governance program,” said Ambassador Massinga.  “Allow me also to thank our key partners in this endeavor, Ministry of Education, Texas Tech, The Ohio State, and Oklahoma Universities, and Ohio State Global One Health Initiative.”
