该奖学金将分配给尼日利亚和肯尼亚大学的客座教授,目的是与这些机构的大学管理部门合作,在课程开发、研究合作和机构能力建设领域建立国际伙伴关系的新途径。

“My intent is to expand the current and ongoing relationship with the Institute for Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, and work towards establishing international education partnership at the institutional level between the University of Port Harcourt (Uni Port) in Nigeria and 威尼斯人娱乐城,” Adegoke said. “The goal will be to create a pathway for excellent students in the environmental sciences at Uni Port to spend a year at 威尼斯人娱乐城, and for 威尼斯人娱乐城 students in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences to be able to spend up to six months at Uni Port through the 威尼斯人娱乐城 Semester Abroad program.”

Adegoke于2002年加入威尼斯人娱乐城,并于2014年被选为该奖学金获得者。 他的专业领域包括气候社会问题,特别是影响城市地区热应激和空气质量的过程之间的跨尺度联系和反馈。 他还曾担任堪萨斯市市长环境管理委员会委员、尼日利亚农业复原力咨询委员会主席,以及联合国教科文组织、世界气象组织和联合国环境规划署等联合国机构的全球变化相关项目指导委员会和专家小组成员。

“I intend to draw on my extensive international network to support the initiatives proposed as part of the envisaged collaboration with University of Port Harcourt,” Adegoke said.

该奖学金将在即将到来的夏季学期持续两个月,由卡内基基金会全额资助。 Hear Adegoke in his own words in 这个视频.
