Reflections on a Sister City Partnership: Denver/Nairobi
How did Denver become connected to Nairobi—and what came from it?
During International Week at MSU Denver, join Dr. Akbarali Thobhani, Executive Director of the Office of International Studies, and physician and author Dr. Pius Kamau for a conversation about the memories, friendships, and experiences behind more than five decades of Denver–Nairobi friendship.
This gathering is a pilot for DSCI’s Reflections series, preserving the stories of longtime participants and welcoming new voices into the next chapter of citizen diplomacy.
