My Vision for Future Africa
Considering my research, teaching and community engagement undertakings, I have contributed something to brought impact on the society. When I was serving Wolkite University I have been engaged in different activities with meaningful impact. A case in point is,impact I brought through education (both of students and of the wider public), mentoring young faculty and undergrads. I have been supporting enthusiastic colleagues who wish to take up a career in my own field of specialization or a related field, by helping them in a project or connecting them with a better experienced person. Another contribution is the role I have played in collaborations with different partners working in diversified field of societal problems via community engagement programs. In that light, I have contributed to transfer knowledge to practical applications. Provision of technical and administrative assistance to the needy persons in my institution where I had better exposures freed up them to spend more time on the core issues and be productive. I also actively participated in various professional association and forums related to my field.
