Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs has been elected to serve on the Executive Committee of Fédération Internationale des Langues et Littératures Modernes (FILLM) (in English -The International Federation for Modern Languages and Literatures). She was unanimously elected during a virtual Committee meeting on Sunday 26 July 2020. Prof. Appiah Amfo will serve a three-year tenure (2020 – 2023) as Assistant Secretary-General.

Welcoming the news of her election, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, said Prof. Amfo’s election was a confirmation of her international stature. While congratulating her, the Vice-Chancellor urged her to keep up the hard work.

Founded in 1928, the FILLM is the official international body which represents the study of language and literature as research-based scholarly disciplines in universities and tertiary higher education institutions world-wide. A UNESCO affiliated organization, it seeks to represent intellectual and cultural endeavours on a global basis. FILLM is made up of international language and literature associations which focus on major language subject-areas and reflect the diversity of scholarly approaches, including interdisciplinary ones, within the field.

We congratulate Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo and wish her well during her tenure.
