He will also contribute to graduate curriculum redesign and mentor faculty through teaching and publishing workshops. Dr. Iheka serves as director of Yale's Whitney Humanities Center, Chair of the Council on African Studies, Head of the Yale Africa Initiative, and Editor-in-Chief of African Studies Review. The mission noted that since 1960, over 1,200 Fulbright scholars have been in Nigeria, many in leadership positions.
