In addition to our yearly programming, ASC considers funding requests to cosponsor lectures, events, performances, and activities that coincide with the our mission to promote a broad and deep understanding of the region. Request to cosponsor an event»
ASC Presentation. UMAPS Research Colloquium Series
UMAPS Scholars: Dagnachew Belete, Addis Ababa University; Zerihun Workneh, Addis Ababa University
Since 2009, the U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program brings early career faculty from African universities to Ann Arbor for residencies generally lasting six months. While on campus, the scholars, representing a wide range of disciplines, further their research with a U-M faculty mentor.
This colloquium series is where each UMAPS fellow will present their work in a session of an ongoing monthly series which is designed to increase skills in effective communication, promote dialogue on topics, and share the UMAPS scholar’s research with the larger U-M community.
Dagnachew Belete, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia: “The Challenge of River Water Pollution and the Potential for Sustainable Storm Water Management in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (STEM)”
Zerihun Workneh, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia: “Biochar-based Urine Processing for Efficient Nutrient Recovery and Reuse in Agriculture (STEM)”
