AME University

Get ready to cheer our Representative Stephanie Gibson

🌍 Over the weekend, the Graduate School of African Methodist Episcopal University hosted an impactful and inspiring lecture series featuring the British Charge' d'Affaires to Liberia, Joanna Markbreitter, who challenged AMEU graduate students to become ambassadors of peace and development in their communities and professional careers. Speaking under the theme, “A Day in the Life of a Diplomat: Balancing the Big Picture and the Small Details to Make a Difference in Liberia,” Madam Markbreitter emphasized the importance of education, leadership, and responsible decision-making, while also reflecting on the historic and growing relationship between Liberia and the United Kingdom in areas of knowledge transfer, security, trade, and commerce.

She praised AME University for creating platforms that connect students to real-world experiences beyond the classroom. Welcoming the British diplomat, AMEU President Dr. Alvin E. Attah described the lecture series as a critical bridge between academic learning and professional exposure. The event concluded with an engaging interactive session where students exchanged ideas on diplomacy, leadership, and Liberia’s development, further reinforcing AME University’s commitment to academic excellence and global engagement.
