Students travel to Ghana to collaborate with community
Posted:
Over spring break, CRP Assistant Professor Charisma Acey and lecturer Jaime Greene traveled to Ghana with 18 Ohio State University students representing various programs including City and Regional Planning, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Agriculture, Global Health, Rural Sociology, Educational Psychology, Workforce Development and International Studies. The group was part of the 38 students who were enrolled in the winter quarter vertical International Development Planning Studio in City and Regional Planning.
The studio and the trip were part of an ongoing collaborative capacity-building effort between Ohio State students and faculty, the Columbus Ghanaian community, and the Offinso North District (Ashanti region, Ghana, rural). Prior to traveling to Ghana, OSU students determined a series of projects on which they would focus. Read more about the trip and the students' experiences here.
