VVU received a four-member delegation from the Andrews University on May 9, 2019 at the Vice Chancellor’s Office to discuss the proposal for the running of a Doctor of Nursing Practice at VVU. Present at the meeting were some officers of the University and the delegation from the Andrews University. The leader of the delegation, Dr. Stephen Payne, briefed the house on the rationale of their visit and disclosed the benefits associated with the running of the said academic programme at VVU. The collaboration is being initiated by Mr. Kwame Antwi-Frempong, CEO of Aspire Business Network, who brokered a scholarship agreement between Ghana and Andrews University for Ghanaian students.

After the healthy discussions, the Vice Chancellor expressed appreciation and indicated the willingness of VVU to collaborate with Andrews University, not only in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program but also in other areas.
