Last Tuesday evening, numerous members of our UA community had the privilege of attending a special event through the World Affairs Council of Dallas / Ft. Worth. We went to the Crescent Rosewood Hotel to hear Ambassador Jerry Lanier speak. Ambassador Lanier is the US Ambassador to Uganda. We at UA have many connections to Ambassador Lanier, including our friendship with Empower African Children, so were eager to attend and to learn more about the opportunities for US businesses in Africa. It was a great evening and it gave our students a wonderful insight into our local African communities. We all had an enjoyable evening and we learned a great deal about the business opportunities that are possible and emerging in the developing world.
