Embraces people of all cultures, races, religions, and sexual orientations;

Allows people to express their doubts and ask important questions;

Sees science as a window into the wonders  of the universe;

Serves and empowers rather than controls and manipulates;

Rejects dogma;

Gives people a chance to serve those in need, here and around the world.

         Dr. Anwyl to speak at First United Methodist Church, Dickson, Tennessee

Dr. Anwyl will travel to Nashville, Tennessee  at the end of next week for the semi-annual meeting of the Africa University (AU) Development Advisory Committee. While there he will bring the Sunday message to two services at the First United Methodist Church, Dickson, Tennessee.

We are blessed by his involvement in AU (see info below), and glad that he represents us in this important endeavor.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK                                                                                           


The Best Plan Is YOURS


So I had a plan...good health and prosperity...yet now it seems "Santa" has given me two lumps of coal! You say be grateful for family, friends and a benevolent Creative Force guiding the course...what about that sick child or mortgage payment? Finally, I came to see things YOUR way...the promises here in life are not coming on my terms, on my timetable, at my whim! Smooth complacent sailing, you said, not the course to happiness.  Defiance, judgements and opinions never filled me with a warm Spirit...only going through challenges without grand expectations...keeping an attitude of gratitude and concern for the less fortunate...taking the lumps as life's testing ground for growth...these concepts YOU taught as the only road for a Divinely Dissatisfied person like me...the only way to achieve the true peace was by giving back!  So give me two lumps and I'll meet you again on the other side...ready for life YOUR way...rolling out in the way I never planned...perfectly!!!
 
Love, Chris

 AFRICA UNIVERSITY Awards First Masters Degree in Intellectual Property          


Africa University has long been supported by SOTH, including a scholarship endowment fund established in 2006 by Grace Clark on the celebration of her 100th birthday. Dr. Anwyl serves on the Development Advisory Committee. We recently received the following letter that references an article highlighting the first recipients of the University's Masters Degree in Intellectual Property.

The one-year Master in Intellectual Property (MIP) degree program is being delivered by Africa University in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations organ; and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO).  The MIP program is housed in AU’s Institute of Peace, Leadership and Governance.

The genius of Africa University has been in the many partnerships that it has formed in its short existence to enable the institution to continue to advance and to provide relevant and quality education for its students.  The collaboration with WIPO and ARIPO is a major achievement.  Because of partnerships like these, Africa University has become one of the premiere institutions of higher learning in the southern region.

Dear All,

I have the pleasure to inform you that the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Magazine has published an article - "Africa University: First Group of IP Graduates Awarded Masters Degrees".

Here is the link:

Our sincere gratitude goes to the DDG of WIPO, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama who made it possible for the MIP article to be published in the WIPO magazine. Thank you.

Best regards,
