Worcester Polytechnic Institute named Barfuor Adjei-Barwuah, a former ambassador of Ghana to the United States, as the university’s first distinguished statesman in residence during a Tuesday announcement.
Previously, Adjei-Barwuah served as Ghana’s ambassador to Japan from 2002 to 2008, before being appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo as ambassador to the United States in 2017.
During his role as distinguished statesman in residence at WPI, Adjei-Barwuah will engage with students in the social sciences, interact with the Institute of Science and Technology for Development (InSTeD), and partner with the Division of University Advancement to enhance the provost’s Global Initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Ghana, according to the press release.
“I look forward to engaging and interacting with the students and faculty of WPI as yet another opportunity to do what I love best: to share knowledge, my stories, and experiences with others, in order to help others,” Adjei-Barwuah said in the release.
