Impact of Obama's Presidency on Africa The unprecedented win by Barack Obama for the presidency of the United States of America makes us wonder what this means for the future of Africa. Will this inspire African natives to challenge the existing leadership? Are the current leaders going to shift their attitudes towards global human rights policies? To participate in this discussion, join us for the January 2009 forum at the Brian Coyle Communicty Center.

Friday, January 16th, 2009 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM

BRAIN DRAIN: Is Africa Losing Its Best and Brightest? Human migration is inevitable. In the case of Africa, the effect of outbound migration is yet to be measured. Does the exposure of Africans to western ideals and cultures benefit or exploit the human resources that could be used to improve quality of life back in African nations. The third annual Connecting with Africa Conference is in search of a better understanding of what this means for the future of Africa. This year we will explore the theme "Brain Drain: Is Africa Losing its Best and Brightest?"
