The fruition of the Embedding Entrepreneurship in Curriculum workshop series, notwithstanding the strained political relations between the United States and South Africa, demonstrates the power of science diplomacy.
This was the opening statement of the Universities South Africa (USAf) CEO, Dr Phethiwe Matutu, at the dinner hosted in Pretoria on Wednesday, 6 May, to officially welcome Professor Paul Miesing (above), an Emeritus Professor of Business and a United States Fulbright Scholar, in South Africa. Professor Miesing is facilitating a series of six workshops equipping academics and universities’ leadership in embedding entrepreneurship education in the curricula of all faculties across South Africa’s 26 public universities, and in three other institutions in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
