Greetings and Jah Blessings I bring to
the Suns and Dawtahs of the Emperor and Empress of Zion!
Consistent with the balance His Imperial
Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I instituted on November 2, 1930 with
the crowning of Empress Menen, The Empress of Zion, Inc. (EOZ)
is honored to report that Moagisi Mogalakwe aka "President
Munyah", of Botswana, Africa, has accepted the Office of
Co-President of the Empress of Zion. He was one of the
students of the University of Botswana who participated in Jesse
Jendah's excellent documentary, "Run Away Slave in
Africa."
A Master Educator, President
Munyah for the past two and half years is a College Lecturer who
works for the Botswana-based very prestigious effective College
Program of Pitzer College Claremont, California and its affiliate
the University of Botswana.
Pitzer College Claremont ,
California .
Undergraduates: 963
Acceptance rate: 40 percent
Pitzer, a member of the Claremont consortium of five colleges, was
founded in 1963 as a women's college and, now coed, embraces its
roots in that progressive decade: students enjoy broad academic
freedom, and can build their own programs and partake in independent
culturally diversified study.
Pitzer
Programs Enhance Scholarship Eligibility
Pitzer’s cultural immersion programs make students stronger
candidates for Fulbright fellowships as well as other prestigious
national awards like the Watson and Rotary scholarships. Fifteen
Pitzer students, the majority of whom completed a Pitzer study
abroad program, earned Fulbright scholarships in 2004 and 2005.
Nationally, Fulbright records show that no school
with an enrollment of fewer than 1000 students has ever won
as many Fulbright awards as the sixteen bestowed on Pitzer
graduates in 2006.
Philosophy
and Educational Goals
A strong commitment to cultural and community immersion guides
Pitzer’s study abroad programs. The curriculum integrates
traditional classroom instruction with experiential opportunities
that lead to an understanding of different cultural perspectives
through firsthand interactions with host cultures. This coupling of
intellectual and participatory learning encourages thinking in ways
that cross over disciplinary, cultural, and social boundaries. It
combines cognitive and affective knowledge to allow living
successfully and appropriately in new cultural contexts, to better
apprehend the cultural adjustment process, and thus to recognize how one
is shaped by your own culture. This type of learning can
powerfully transform the way one looks at the world and self.

Location
One of Africa’s most politically and economically stable
countries, Botswana is home to 1.5 million people and 226,900 square
miles of vast savannas, the Kalahari Desert, and world famous
wildlife parks. Botswana’s citizens, most of whom live in the
major cities, towns, and villages along the eastern border, enjoy
standards of education and economic well-being rivaled on the
continent only by neighboring South Africa.
Host
Institution
The program is affiliated with the University of Botswana, a
comprehensive institution of higher learning with an undergraduate
enrollment of 10,000, located in the capital city of Gaborone.
The
Core Course
Botswanan
Studies
As the former headquarters
for the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Botswana
offers a singular opportunity to study cultural, historical, social,
and environmental issues that shape and connect national and
regional development. The core course combines a series of lectures
given by university faculty and specialists from governmental and
non-governmental organizations, readings, and extensive reflective
writing of the Fieldbook with the more experiential program
components of family stays, fieldwork, and study trips to provide a
high degree of cultural immersion and cross-cultural learning.
