He entreated the graduating class to lead exemplary and industrious lives by demonstrating the spiritual knowledge and practical skills gained from the university college.
Prof. Sam Afrane, former Chairman of CSUC Council encouraged the graduands not to rest on their laurels, but inculcate the habit of reading as a stepping stone for reaching higher goals.
He said the university college was committed to its vision of becoming a “world class Christian university that pursues academic excellence and moral uprightness.”
He disclosed that as part of measures to make the university college a centre of excellence, a modern 6-storey students’ hostel was being constructed to accommodate students. The hostel when completed will cater for the accommodation needs of about 400 students.
The President of CSUC, Prof. Emmanuel Frempong, advised the graduands to be ambassadors of the institution, and uphold the college’s motto of “Knowing Christ Better and Making Him Better Known,” by characterizing their professional activities with decorum.
He announced that the university college has introduced academic scholarship and bursary schemes to assist students financially in their various programmes.
