Recognition
At the awards ceremony organised in Accra yesterday, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the GCTU, Professor Robert Ebo Hinson, said the awards were to serve as a platform to encourage other students to work harder and excel in their programmes.
He urged them to use their skills to help solve real-life problems.
“When you complete a degree, it is a starting point, but your ability to transform the skills and knowledge to solve real-life problems is significant,” he said.
“We will be doing the tracer studies so that at every significant mile stone in your life, we can say congratulations and honour your every achievement,” he added.
He urged them to keep in touch with the school and share their experiences with the students while expressing the school’s commitment to do same.
The Dean of the GCTU Business School, Professor Oppong Appiah Adjei Ampong, indicated that the recognition was a starting point in their relationship with the school and, therefore, urged them to stay in touch and be ambassadors of the school.
The Registrar of GCTU, Emmanuel Baidoo, for his part, said academic award ceremonies were essential components of the school’s activities to serve as a beacon of hope and light to other students.
He said plans were underway to expand the awards scheme so parents and well-wishers could attend.
A professor at the Economic Department of the GCTU Business School, Reverend Professor Ivy Drafor-Amenyah, who shared a word of encouragement, said the school would continue cheering the awardees to success but said they must continue to build upon themselves.
“Build a personal value system so that when you excel, the lack of integrity will not destroy you. Also, understand how you are made up as a person and find things that you enjoy and get paid for it,” she said.
