\u201cThere is no better legacy than writing a book like this,\u201d Dr. Tesfaye Lema in a book launching event at Haramaya University<\/h1>\n

At the Book launching ceremony, it was stated that Professor Chemeda Fininsa is the most experienced teacher and researcher in the college of Agriculture and Environmental Science in Haramaya University, and served the country for thirty seven (37) years in higher education institutions teaching and different positions, including presidency.<\/p>\n

Witnessing long years\u2019 service and diligence of Professor Chemeda Dr. Tesfaye Lema, vice president for research affairs, said in his opening speech that writing an academic book of a high quality to be used by post graduate students as textbook, by researchers as a reference and by policy makers and development practitioners as a guide is a daunting task because it requires a set of different skills such as research, critical thinking, effective writing, and human relation skills. \u201cThere is no better legacy than writing a book like this,\u201d says Dr. Tesfaye.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tesfaye went on, saying, \u201cWe hope and believe that the achievement we are celebrating today will inspire and encourage our senior professors to engage in similar endeavors and write research-based academic books in their respective fields of specialization, as it helps them to pass their acquired and accumulated knowledge and wisdom to the next generation for use.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Chemeda Fininsa, the author, has presented his reflections regarding the book by saying that, as everyone understands, writing a book is very difficult even though he successfully accomplished writing the book after passing through ups and downs with the help of his family, and colleagues from Haramaya University, and the USA. Professor Chemeda added that the motivation that he has to not reserve his effort, knowledge, and experience, to postgraduate students in particular and policy makers at the country level in general, made him strong to face and pass all the challenges. At the end of his speech, he presented his thanks to Haramaya University, all who helped him during the writing process, and the organizers of the colorful launching ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"Professor<\/p>\n
