She continues as its Director. Dr. Isiaka Prosper Laleye, Professor of Anthropology and Philosophy, is the Coordinator of the Exchange at Universite Gaston Berger. Under the terms of the Exchange, a dozen faculty and administrators from each University will have travelled from their home campuses to spend time at the other campus, as teachers, researchers, or as consultants. One important aspect of the exchange has been library enrichment. UGB is receiving collections enrichment and technical support in upgrading its cataloguing system, KU is enriching its holdings in West African literature.
Student exchanges are also under discussion.
The Exchange has already enriched both university communities in many ways. Chancellor Hemenway of the University of Kansas travelled to Senegal in January 1999 to lecture in Dakar, and to assess the potential of this exchange. He met with his counterpart Rector Ndiaye. The agreement that was drawn up assures the continuation of the exchange program between the University of Kansas and the Universite Gaston Berger de Saint Louis after USIA support ends in the year 2000.
