Peter McPherson Quotations

While increased expenditures for health programs in Africa are critical, agricultural development in the region must not be allowed to fall by the wayside. Food and health are both high priorities and highly interdependent. Without adequate food, people will never be healthy. Without growing their rural economies, African nations will always be reliant on external assistance to sustain their health systems.

On campuses, we should have students that graduate that are comfortable working with people different from themselves, who are comfortable in an international kind of arena. That's 21st-century America.
