The 2019 IVLP is entitled “Education In The Digital Age”, and will run from January 28 to February 16 in Columbus, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago and several other states and communities across the United States.

According to the release, Titus Tokpah was nominated for the International Visitor Leadership Program in May 2018 by the United States Embassy near Monrovia through its Public Affairs Section.

Drake State Community and Technical College, New Market Elementary School and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Mr. Tokpah also disclosed plans to explore partnerships for further advancement of the “Peter Quaqua School of Journalism”-PQSJ.

The “Peter Quaqua School of Journalism” is Liberia’s premier journalism school recognized and supported by the United States Government through Embassy Monrovia.

Meanwhile, while away, the Coordinator of the Peter Quaqua School of Journalism, Mr. Joseph N. Kerkula, will lead activities at MediaAid in consultation with a new Board of Advisers.
