You are cordially invited to attend a public lecture by His Excellency President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete of the United Republic of Tanzania,
on Friday, September 26, 2014, at 11 a.m.-Noon.
During his 60-minute lecture, Kikwete will discuss how academia, business, and government agencies can work together to advance Tanzania's priorities and find solutions to today's global challenges.
President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete is the fourth and current president of the United Republic of Tanzania. Previously, Kikwete was the minister for finance in 1994; he served as minister for foreign affairs and international cooperation from 1995 until 2005--the year he was elected president. He was chairperson of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) for 2010-2011, the chairperson of the East African Community (EAC), the chairperson of the African Union (AU) in 2008, and co-chair of the Helsinki Process on Globalization and Democracy in 2004. President Kikwete graduated from the University of Dar es Salaam in 1975.
The winner of several international awards and honors, Kikwete was recognized by the United Nations Foundation during the Social Good Summit in 2011 for his commitment to social media and technology.
This event will also celebrate the historic signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Rutgers and the University of Dodoma in Tanzania--the first MOU Rutgers has in the country. The vice chancellor of the University of Dodoma will attend the signing.
We hope you will join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Please take a moment to confirm your attendance below.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joanna Regulska
