The African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) has featured prominently this week at Rhodes University.

With the visit of ARUA Secretary-General, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey to Rhodes, who is touring ARUA South African Member Universities, coupled with a study tour currently being undertaken by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Ibadan, it has been an interactive and professionally engaging time.

The week has however not been all work but a time to interact socially too. Vice-Chancellor of Rhodes University, Prof. Sizwe Mabizela, who is also ARUA Board Co-Chair, honoured the two guests to an official dinner which was attended by university officials and staff.
