The Christian Service University has organized matriculation ceremony to formally admit the September 2024/25 admission Session batch of students. Traditionally, CSU runs two admission sessions in every academic year in September and January respectively. In all, a total of 600 students were formally admitted into the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for the 2024/25 academic year.
Highlights of the Vice Chancellor’s Address
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Kofi Afrane, in his welcome address reported that two significant events happened in the life of the university in the year 2024; they were 1) 50th anniversary celebrations and 2) granting of presidential Charter to make CSU a fully-fledged university in Ghana. The Vice Chancellor admonished the matriculants and assured that CSU will support them to grow academically, personally and spiritually. He catalogued his admonition to the matriculants along 5 thematic areas: first, he urged them to adopt strategic approach to education grounded on self-determination and discipline; second, he encouraged the freshers to place high premium on spiritual growth through activities such as Wednesday Bible studies and other spiritual activities designed by the Chaplaincy Board of the University; third, he reminded the matriculants to be mindful of the benefits of the digital age and leverage on technology to create balance in their social and academic lives; fourth, he charged the new students to embrace discipline and personal responsibility (safety) as they settle into the University environment; and finally, he advised them not to allow themselves to be swayed by some political actors to embark on unacceptable conduct and behaviour that will disturb the peace of the country, as the nation goes into major elections in December 2024.
CSU and the Way Forward
Prof. Afrane revealed that the current management is committed to continuously improving the conditions that facilitate effective teaching and learning. Then again, the University is working assiduously to improve infrastructure, consolidate its gains against zero tolerance policy for examination malpractice, and promote discipline, hard work and honesty. The Vice Chancellor further disclosed that CSU has received accreditation from Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to run Diploma in Business Studies, Bachelor of Science Cyber Security and Master of Science, Digital Marketing in the upcoming January 2025 admissions.
