Vision

Eastern Congo is a place of incredible natural beauty and vibrant people, but where corruption and poor insitutions have led to extreme poverty and injustice. Out of this context a university was founded; dedicated to the formative development of Congolese leaders.

This university, the Christian Biligual University of Congo (UCBC), is a place where local and international people come together to “be transformed to transform”, as personal renewal leads to renewal in schools, workplaces, families, and government.

As part of creating an exceptional engineering program, they invited me to come and be a professor of computer science; to use my gifts in teaching, mentoring, and curriculum development.

Primary Roles:

• Teaching courses to develop professionals with strong engineering skills.
• Assisting the Applied Sciences program with curriculum development.
• Building strong mentoring relationships with UCBC staff.
• Helping students to discover ways to bring technological solutions to local challenges.
