Dr. Antoinette Simpah Anim-Jnr, a faculty member at the Department of Animal Science, has been appointed to the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) Alumni Advisory Panel for the 2025–2027 term.

She joins 130 selected alumni representing 37 countries and six decades of Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships, chosen from a competitive pool of more than 500 applicants.

Dr. Simpah Anim-Jnr is an award-winning researcher in Animal Nutrition and Meat Science, driving sustainable animal production through the use of locally sourced, underutilised feed resources to improve food and nutrition security and enhance livestock farmer livelihoods in Ghana and across Africa.

A 2011 Commonwealth Shared Scholar, she earned her MSc in Meat Science and Technology from the University of Bristol, holds a PhD in Animal Science from Massey University, New Zealand, and currently serves as the Kumasi Branch President of the Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows Alumni, Ghana (CoSFAG), where she leads alumni engagement and mentors young women in agri-STEM pathways.

The CSC, which administers Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships across member countries, established the Alumni Advisory Panel to draw on the expertise of former Scholars to shape the future of its programmes and activities.

The panel offers Commonwealth Alumni a structured platform to provide direct insights to advance CSC operations, including higher education evaluation, alumni engagement, scholarship strategy, and postgraduate learning models.

Members represent diverse academic, technical, and professional backgrounds across the Commonwealth.

Dr. Anim-Jnr joins a global community of panelists selected across CSC schemes and Commonwealth countries.

The advisory body also contributes to global knowledge on the assessment of scholarships, postgraduate study, and higher education systems.
