Kuukuwa Manful joined Taubman College as an assistant professor of architecture in the fall of 2023, but her connection to the college goes back much further. As a student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana, she came to Taubman College in 2008 as part of the UM-KNUST West African Design Studio Exchange — StudioAFRICA. Soon, Professor Manful will be starting a new chapter in the legacy that the program began.
