Background of the University of Lunsar

INTRODUCTION

The University of Lunsar was founded by a SIERRA LEONEAN COUPLE, DR. SHEIKH UMARR AND DR. MARIE Umar-Kamarah, in 2016 and is a small private research University established with the avowed goal of providing quality and affordable education to students in Sierra Leone and around the world. Inspired by the “Wisconsin Idea,” the founders of the University of Lunsar believes that the existence of the University is predicated upon the conviction that it should improve the lives of those within the community and those around the world.

It is no secret that the economic, social and political changes taking place in the world favour a global knowledge economy. The collapse of education in Sierra Leone, and the stark realization that the 21st Century is a world whose economy is driven by knowledge, necessitated the founding of the University of Lunsar. A Wisconsin Idea is needed in Sierra Leone.
