We all found his visit to our campus very refreshing and useful, and I am sure that this new found relationship will support African Studies’ efforts to expand its connections to African intellectual life. The Saturday program was great and I appreciate the enormous amount of work involved in preparing all that food. Good for you!!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Steve Howard<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Director, African Studies and Director, Graduate Studies, Center for International Studies, <o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Professor, Media Arts and Studies<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Ohio University<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal>www.african.ohio.edu<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.african.ohio.edu/Conferences/healthafricaconference.htm"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.african.ohio.edu/Conferences/healthafricaconference.htm</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
