US alma mater asks Santos to visit university

The U.S. university where Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos earned his economics and business degree is inviting him to attend events marking the 50th anniversary of its School for Latin American Studies.

The president of the University of Kansas, Bernadette Gray-Little, extended the invitation Thursday during a meeting in Bogota with Santos. Santos graduated from the university in 1973.

Gray-Little says Santos has not given an answer yet, but she is optimistic he will visit the university.

In her words, “I think he wants to come.”
