"Florida State University was paid a visit by a prestigious alumnus this morning.

His Excellency Mokgweetsi Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana, returned to his alma mater to meet with University President John Thrasher and local lawmakers.

President Masisi obtained a Masters degree in education from Florida State in 1990.

On Thursday morning, Masisi expressed his interest in rekindling a closer relationship with the university.

President Masisi said, "There's a lot of value that you bring and we have a number of universities, both public and private, that would benefit from partnering with you and I want to beset you to use me and abuse me in creating those linkages, rekindling them. And in our bilateral relations with the United States government, there is no reason why these should not be taken to greater heights."

Masisi and Thrasher touted FSU’s recent accomplishments, including being named the 26th best public university in the nation."
