The Christian Service University has held a congregation under the theme: “Developing a national policy towards job creation in Ghana: The Role of key stakeholders” to award degrees and diplomas to its last students admitted under the CSUC cohort. In all, a total of 476 undergraduate and postgraduate students were awarded with various degrees and diplomas in an emotional ceremony as the institution transitions from University College to a fully-fledged University.
Vice Chancellor’s Report
The Vice chancellor of the CSU, Professor Samuel Kofi Afrane congratulated faculty and the graduating class of 2024 for their hard work and resilience leading to this accomplishment. He noted that the congregation ceremony was significant for two unique reasons: first, it marked the end of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Christian Service University (1974-2024); and second, it was the last graduation of students admitted under the mentorship of University of Ghana and University of Cape Coast marking an end of an era of the life of the University. He used this opportunity to again to express appreciation to the mentor institutions and urged that the charter status of CSU has opened another door of constructive engagements with former mentor institutions.
