UNE Faculty and Students participate in theThird Ghana Health Mission

In March 2010, UNE faculty and students participated in the third Ghana Health Mission, a partnership that began in 2008.  On this mission, the interdisciplinary team had the opportunity to meet Ghanaian diplomat Kofi Annan at Elmina Castle in Elmina, Ghana where he was filming  a documentary.  Annan and the United Nations were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.
