Mike Nithvrianakis, First Secretary of Development (British High Commission, Ghana): "Simply marvelous. I don't know what I would do without the course" (Orientation Course 1994).

Ron Odette, CIDA Director 1989: (Canadian High Commission, Ghana) "We want all our Canadian Development personnel to take the Orientation course." 

HRH Princess Anne: "This is a great work you are doing here" (on the occasion of her visit to Tamale, Spring 1998).

Prof. Steve Bevans SVD, CTU: "I am thankful for the wonderful opportunity to take a TICCS course (CCGM Study Tour) as part of the CCGM program. TICCS offers some great programs which we are pushing our students at CTU and CCGM to attend."

Prof. Anthony Gittins CSSp, CTU: "We would like to encourage all missionaries to do a program like that offered at TICCS. It is a learning experience that is so different from our schooling modes that it can only be compared with a conversion experience" (TICCS Anthropological Consultation).

Prof. Louis Luzbetak SVD, Missionary-anthropologist: "This is just the kind of training program that is needed for missionaries today."

Rev. Carl Rockrohr, Lutheran Church, Bindiri, Ghana: "Many times during the course (Introduction Course) I said to myself, 'that helps me understand what happened at such and such a time.' I know that anyone wishing to take the course will benefit a great deal from it."

Corey Nelson, PC-USA FEP, 1995: "You were so right when you said I would use what I learned during my time here at McCormick Theological Seminary. I hardly ever write an essay or offer an explanation of a point in class without almost automatically offering examples from my experience at TICCS."

Rev. Stephen Dudek, DMin student, CTU: "I never thought I could learn so much about another culture in so short a time" (Summer in Africa, 1998).

Dr. Glenn Adams, PhD Psychology, Stanford University: "I would advise every serious researcher in cross-cultural disciplines in Ghana to do a TICCS Introduction Course. I don't think I could have honed in on my dissertation topic in such record time and with such a sharp focus had it not been for the insights I got from the TICCS SIA."

Dr. Jim Lance, Editor, Africa Desk, Heinemann: "Without the guidance and support of TICCS my PhD field research in oral history among the Mamprusi and my analysis of the results would have been a great deal more difficult."
