We've known all along that our support of graduate education reaches far beyond our own UC Davis campus, and Robert (Bob) Gilbertson's recent trip to Mali, West Africa is one example of our global collaboration and impact.
Bob (Professor, Plant Pathology) was in Mali participating in the Ph.D. dissertation defense exam of student Moussa Noussourou. Bob was a co-advisor of Moussa, along with Dr. Rick Foster of Purdue University and Professor Hamidou Maiga of the University of Bamako.
