The President of Yale University, Peter Salovey, has paid a courtesy call on the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu ahead of a Special Symposium which took place at the Great Hall.   The two discussed issues of mutual concern to their institutions, essentially on collaboration. 

The Vice-Chancellor who welcomed his guest was appreciative of the agreements between Yale and University of Ghana, and was happy that these were going to be extended for a further period.
