This milestone was registered in 2019 when the late Ambassador of The Gambia to the United States of America, H.E. Dawda Docka Fadera and staff of the Embassy visited Shepherd University and held viable town hall meeting with faculty, teaching staff and a cross section of students from Shepherd University.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a great day for The Gambia and, I believe for Shepherd, too, as we sign this important instrument; the memorandum of understanding between the Embassy of The Gambia and Shepherd University, for a high-quality, relevant and affordable education,\u201d the late Ambassador said following the signing of the MOU. He added: \u201cI believe this affords vast opportunities for both parties, especially The Gambia. This is very important for us, and I believe this will enable qualified and deserving members of our youth to get access to higher education at this great university.\u201d You can make your application by connecting to: www.shepherd.edu<\/p>\n
