An African delegation representing 14 countries visited Case Western Reserve University to learn more about undergraduate student leadership development at higher education institutions in the United States as part of "Educating Youth for Future Leadership," a program funded by the U.S. Department of State and organized by the Institute for International Education.

During the delegates' visit to Cleveland, they exchanged ideas and insights with Case undergraduate student leaders in roundtable discussions organized and hosted by the Office of Student Community Service in partnership with
the Cleveland Council on World Affairs.

Among others, participants included (from right to left), Asma Hussain, sophomore vice president of the Case Muslim Student Association; Penda Sago Diop Sarr, of the Senegalese National Assembly and president of the Women's and Youth Wing of the Senegalese National Party; Thierry Rwagatore, representative of Africa Strategic Impact, Burundi; Hermance Cica M.
