This Globase Ghana session was great! We were honored to have members from the Cummin’s team and a professor from the African Studies Department come speak to us about Ghana and the culture. It is always great to hear different perspectives. We are really getting to know how things work in Ghana, well the best we can without ACTUALLY going there.
Stephen Aryee, Henry Malm & Patrick Djan-Sampson, from Cummins, created a presentation for us about the business etiquette of Ghana. They did a great job explaining the nuances of business and had a great understanding of the differences of Ghanaian work etiquette and American work etiquette. This will in very valuable to the class during our time in Ghana, and even potential future work overseas.
Dr. Samuel Obeng, the Director at the African Studies Department here at IU, had a great discussion with us about the culture of Ghana. He had some great stories! He told us about his time as a teacher in Ghana, and his father. He talked about the government and the people. It was very exciting to hear all about the people and the life there. He made it very hard to be patient; the anticipation is mounting to get to Ghana!
All in all, this was a great week!
