Professor John Owusu Gyapong, Vice Chancellor,

He said it was a great opportunity for the

faculty’s commitment and readiness to equip them for the job market.
He acknowledged some challenges the students
might face in the young and multi-campus University and assured them of plans
to resolve the challenges.
Professor Gyapong advised the freshmen and
women to abide by the School’s rules and regulations and make the best out of
opportunities presented to them.
Ms Helena Yaa Darkoa Pabby, a Matriculant, who

to provide adequate transportation to their hard-to-reach campus.

of the University to make the best of the opportunity.
