Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, Adjei is an ocean away from home, but she feels right at home in southern Illinois. “I love Southern Illinois and what I love most about SIU is its culture.

I love that our students benefit from my colleagues’ world-class teaching and research expertise. I believe this increases the chances that our students will find and keep their dream jobs”, said Adjei.
