The signing of an agreement to
establish a cooperative education
program between Capitol Campus
and Marien N'gouabi University
of the People's Republic of the
Congo on April 4 was "an
historical act," said Sylvain
Makasso-Makasso, Rector of the
Congolese institution.
The program encompasses ex
changes of faculty and graduate
students, cooperative research
projects, workshops, short courses
and exchanges of periodicals and
documents, according to Dr.
Robert Simko, the campus' direc
tor for the program.
Simko said the Congolese are
particularly interested in the areas
of public administration and
regional planning in addition to
the American Studies program.
The emphasis for Capitol's par
ticipants will be African studies.
"The interest of the Congolese
in studying things American is
unique," said Dr. John Patter
son, Head of the Humanities divi
sion. The Congo has, in the past,
been influenced by the Soviet
Union.
