A big ACADEMIC GURU is coming to Grand Gedeh University.
In the wake of boasting the capacity of the Grand. Gedeh university, talks are being finalized for the onboarding of George Tee Forpoh, PhD not only as senior academic at the University, but as a progenitor and forerunner of strong commitment to rigorous research, grant writing and the elevation of scholastic publication of academic works that will break ground for new discoveries in vital fields of studies, thus exerting GGU as the birth place of contemporary learning.
Forpoh will come on board with a rich background in public service and public policy manage and policy of key government initiatives having served as a Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Liberia and then from the academic angle as a Dean of the College of Agriculture and sustainable development at the Cuttington University.
