The Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Professor Johnson Nyarko-Boampong has pledged to the entire student populace, management’s commitment to providing an academic-friendly environment to aid in their academic pursuit.
He said as the university celebrates its 60th anniversary, management will strive to enroll measures that will help to promote teaching and learning.
“Those of us here who are leaders of the university are obliged to create a conducive environment so that we can train you and prepare you for the future so that you become good global citizens”. He continued.
The Vice-Chancellor said this when he addressed students who graced the thanksgiving service of the UCC for Christ Gospel Crusade held on Sunday, September 11, 2022, at UCC.
The event dubbed ‘UCC for Christ’ crusade with the theme: You must be born again forms part of activities earmarked for the 60th-anniversary celebration of the university.
The 4-day evangelistic program which began on Thursday was organized by the Protestant, Pentecostal, and Charismatic Churches, UCC in collaboration with the School’s Outreach ministry of the Church of Pentecost.
Assuring the students of management support, Professor Nyarko Boampong also called on the students to study hard and to demonstrate good academic behaviour worthy of emulation.
To that end, he tasked the students to be agents of change to society.
Speaking on the topic: Oasis of Salvation, the chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye urged the students to prioritize their academics over any other activity.
He advised them saying “the irretrievable and sometimes the irreparable nature of the past; the ‘had I known has happened already and life does not permit you to go back, retrieve and repair it…don’t wait till four years are over and then you turn and say had I known”.
Apostle Eric Nyamekye, therefore, emphasized that students must utilize their stay on campus in a beneficial manner.
