Ohio University in the United States of America is planning to rekindle its relations with the University of Botswana. This came to light during a courtesy call Ohio University’s Vice Provost for Global Affairs and International Studies, Dr. Lorna Jean Edmonds, paid Vice Chancellor, Professor David Norris, on June 18, 2018.

The Vice Chancellor, Professor David Norris, has appealed to University of Botswana alumni to help the University realise its vision of becoming a research intensive institution. Professor Norris said as a research intensive institution, the University would have capacity to come up with well-researched innovations that could be commercialised to help drive Botswana’s economic diversification process.
