Building upon the success of our first symposium in 2012, the 2013 conference will bring together established and emerging leaders in industry, academia and the arts. As many believe that the 21st Century will be the African Century, it is imperative that institutions like Yale engage on the forefront of conversation, dialogue and thought leadership for West Africa, Africa and the Diaspora. Yale is unique among American colleges and universities in taking the lead on such an endeavor, positioning itself with the Yale Club of Ghana to be a conduit for world ideas related to the future success of Africa and her descendants.
