UNIOSUN SET TO TRAIN STUDENTS IN ALABAMA UNIVERSITY UNITED STATES

If everything goes as planned in the Management's latest drive to boost the University's academic record, students of Osun State University will join the list of undergraduates to be trained at Alabama A & M University in the United States of America, beginning from 2017/2018 academic session.

This soothing revelation formed the centre point of discussion at a meeting held on Monday, 24th July, 2017 in the VC's office between the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Labode Popoola and a representative of Alabama University, Professor Jacob Oluwoye.
It will be recalled that the University had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alabama University on Wednesday, 25th August, 2016.

No action had however been effected on the activities envisaged in the MoU, including the exchange of faculty; exchange of students; joint research and other scholarly activities; exchange of publications; joint lectures and allowing students of Agriculture, Engineering and Urban & Regional Planning to spend their third academic year in Alabama A & M University to acquire more experience and thereafter return for their fourth Academic year and graduation in UNIOSUN.

Professor Popoola, who is using his international influence to ensure that the activities as contained in the MoU come into operation with immediate effect, has already written a letter to the President of Alabama A & M University, expressing the University's readiness to work with it.
The Vice-Chancellor also maintained that the exchange programme will be designed in such a way that students of Alabama University will also be able to visit Osun State University to be trained for a minimum of one session.
Beneficiaries of the student exchange programme between the two universities will have the opportunity of dual certification from both partner institutions.

Aabama A & M University was founded in 1875 as an entity of the State of Alabama and later adapted the federal land grant system. In 1891, the school became the recipient of a part of the Federal Land Grant Fund provided by an act of US Congress, approved in 1980.
Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University is a dynamic and progressive institution with strong commitment to academic excellence. The picturesque campus is situated on what many alumni and friends fondly refers to as "the Hill", only a few miles from downtown Huntsville, in the State of Alabama.

The academic programmes of AAMU are organised in four colleges and over thirty departments. It offers numerous degree programmes, including BS degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Forestry, Environmental Science, Plant Science and four Ph.D degrees in Plant and Soil Science, Food Science, Physics and Reading/Literacy.
