Ryerson President Sheldon Levy will be getting a cow from a student who graduates next week. Yes, a cow. He’ll have to go to Africa to get it, which he plans to do in July 2012.

The story behind this gift spans nearly 30 years and touches on three continents. There have been cows all along the way, because in the herding village in Kenya where the student is from, cows are living currency.
