Dr. Bernard Kitheka has lived in five different countries working in sustainable tourism and community development.
With this Carnegie fellowship, he will live in country number six – Tanzania. His placement begins on Sept. 1, 2025, and ends on Nov. 30, 2025.
Kitheka, an associate professor in the School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability (SEES), recently received a 2025 Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship from the Institute of International Education. This award will allow him to work at the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro, Tanzania, for 90 days.
“Many universities in Tanzania don’t have the capacity for research,” he said. “It’s a great award and an amazing opportunity to help,” he said.
