The university’s role
Speaking at the function, the Vice-President of the GTUC, Dr Robert A. Baffour, congratulated the first-year students and said the GTUC’s vision was to produce students who would excel academically and professionally.
Matriculation is a ceremony that indicates that fresh students have been formally admitted to an institution.
Dr Baffour assured the matriculants that they had come to a place that welcomed the opportunity to take young men and women through all potential educational challenges and learning opportunities to enable them develop future leaders for Ghana, Africa and the whole world.
“As a university, our role is to produce graduates who will stand out and will be known to be bold, confident, articulate, professional, entrepreneurial, visionary and have a deep sense of social and ethical responsibility. Always remember that the key to success is in your own hands,” Dr Baffour said.
