A social and networking opportunity for African students in Brandon, the brainchild of a Brandon University professor, continues to thrive, with a recent picnic helping to kick off the fall academic term.

“We aim to foster meaningful connections, nurture a sense of belonging, and emphasize the importance of African cultural identity among students who are far from home” said Dr. Aloysius Anyichie, Assistant Professor in Education at BU and the founder of the project, called the Loy Excellentia Initiative.
