For alumni of the Open University. I am really excited about the Africa Project and the invitation from my old University to join the mentoring scheme as a mentee, helping current students achieve their goals at the University. And also to travel to Paris to meet up with other alumni.
I encourage people here to take up courses at the University, they are not very expensive, you don't have to attend lectures or sit in a lecture room. You study completely on your own, with help from an on-line tutor. And you can study from anywhere in the world.

| |  | | | | | Alumni help still needed for Africa Project OUBS academics Francis Cattermole and Professor Rob Paton are delighted with the interest that OUBS alumni have shown in the Africa Project introduced in last month's newsletter. It is a great opportunity for the OU to engage in sustainable management development and the support of our alumni is very encouraging.
This initiative is to develop a programme to meet the capacity building needs of management development in Africa. It can help to develop African managers run African companies and companies in Africa.
