He said, “I will deal with your matters because they’re matters of concern {to me} and they are matters if we don’t deal with them, then we’ll destroy this University,“

“All the changes will happen at the same time, so that the shock will be received once and that ends it,” said Prof. Ampiah.

The meeting was attended by the Registrar, Mr. John Kofi Nyan; the Vice-President of UTAG-UCC, Dr. Eric Opoku; Secretary of UTAG-UCC, Dr. Bert Boadu-Kusi; Secretary to the Vice-Chancellor, Mrs. Georgina Asi Owusu and the Junior Assistant Registrar of the Directorate of Public Affairs, Mr. Felix Adu Poku.

Yale Alumni, Department of Population and Health Assist Yamoransa Community

21 Dec, 2016 By louis Mensah

The Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC), USA, has partnered the Department of  Population and Health of the University of Cape Coast, UCC, to build an Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Centre and Library for the people of Yamoransa, a community in the Mfantseman Municipality.

The ICT Center and Library is a two-storey complex, with classroom, library, meeting rooms, a kitchen, secure storage for equipment , electricity and bathroom facilities.

This came to light when the Director of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance (DAPQA), Prof. Kofi Awusabo-Asare, led a delegation from the Department, to pay a courtesy call on the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ghartey Ampiah, at his office.

Briefing the Vice-Chancellor on the genesis of the facility, Prof. Awusabo-Asare indicated that the Department had a long-standing relationship with Yamoransa community and as a result every third-year student of the Department goes to stay in the community as part of their practical field training.

He said, in 2008, the Department surveyed the community to find out their pressing needs and it emerged that Yamoransa was in dire need of an ICT Center.

In 2011, the Department, Prof. Awusabo-Asare pointed out, came into contact with YASC, which was in Ghana to do its community works.

As a result, he said, the Department took YASC  to Yamoransa to do its community work,with a special focus on support for building ICT center and library, which was a top priority identified by  the leadership of Yamoransa community.

Responding, Prof. Ampiah, after welcoming Prof. Awusabo-Asare and his accompanying delegation, commended the Department and YASC for building the facility for the people of Yamoransa.

He said the Centre would help school children of the community to gain knowledge in ICT.

Prof. Ampiah appealed to the youth to make good use of the Centre in order to prolong its lifespan.

The Vice-Chancellor announced that he would pay a familiarisation visit to the Centre next year to acquaint himself with the activities and operations of the Centre.

Present at the function were the Registrar, Mr. John Kofi Nyan; the Head of the Department of Population and Health, Prof. Augustine Tanle, and other senior lecturers at the Department.

Speaking at the concert, held at the Main Auditorium, the wife of the deceased, Mrs. Joyce Atta-Quartey, who graced the occasion, expressed profound gratitude to the Department for the honour done her late husband and asked for God’s unending blessings to students and staff of the Department.

She announced the establishment of an endowment fund to reward best graduating students in the Department during congregation ceremonies in the University.

Mrs. Atta Quartey added that the Fund was also to support research activities at the Department.

Consequently, Mrs. Atta- Quartey doled out GH ¢ 5000 as a seed capital to support the Fund.

 For his part, the Head of the Department of Music and Dance, Dr. Florian Carl, paid glowing tribute to the late Dr. Joe Atta-Quartey.

The concert, attended by lecturers, students and other top University officials, saw students perform African ensemble, solo vocal pieces with piano accompaniment, the popular band, and choral music to commemorate the celebration of life of the late Dr. Joe Atta-Quartey.

DRIC ORGANISES WORKSHOP ON PUBLICATION OUTLETS, RESEARCHER VISIBILITY AND EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT

16 Dec, 2016 By louis Mensah

The Directorate of Research Innovation and Consultancy (DRIC) has organised a day’s workshop on Publication Outlets, Researcher Visibility and External Engagement to explain the need for lecturers to publish beyond Ghana.

The workshop was also aimed at building the capacity of lecturers to improve their writing skills.

Opening the workshop, the Director of DRIC, Prof. Samuel Annim, urged lecturers to sign onto the Google Scholar platform so as to make themselves visible to the world through their publications.

He noted, ”It is through Google Scholar that will make your works known across the nooks and crannies of the world”.

Prof. Annim announced that the Directorate would organise workshops on Grantmanship and Mentorship during the second semester of this academic year.

He said the Directorate would engage with lecturers on the need for them to do away with unsolicited research and embrace solicited research.

“Our core business of doing unsolicited research for promotion is coming to an end,” he said, adding that “this is the time that we need to think about solicited research.This is the time to think about how to respond to calls for proposals, especially from outlets that are internationally recognised…”

On the workshop on Mentorship, Prof. Annim indicated that there was the need to redefine mentorship in the University away from the practice where at the point of interview “they give you somebody that you don’t know whether you have chemistry with the person or you don’t know whether you have the same research interest with the person and all that you see from the person is at the end or periodically you go and a form is signed.”

To this end,he noted that,henceforth,every year, DRIC would engage with relatively younger colleague lecturers to send vague drafts to the Directorate for seasoned researchers,either in the University or outside, for assessment.

“Whatever you are thinking about just bring it. Let’s see that you have an idea on paper and giving out that the idea will bear you up with a seasoned researcher in the University and if we cannot find one in the University, we will go beyond the University,” Prof. Annim said.

He stressed that “This workshop is also to help younger colleagues to move on the ladder as far as publications are concerned.”

The DRIC Director gave credit to the immediate past Vice-Chancellor, Prof. D.D Kuupole, for initiating the Research Support Grant(RSG) in deepening research in the University.

Prof. Annim also commended the current Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ghartey Ampiah, for increasing the Grant from GH 100,000 to GH 500,000.

He said the Vice-Chancellor had advised the Directorate to diversify the portfolio of the Research Support Grant.

Consequently, Prof. Annim mentioned that the Research Support Grant had three levels, namely Individual Group RSG, Inter-departmental RSG and Policy and Practice-Oriented RSG.

He announced that, in April 2017, the Directorate would hold Researcher Awards ceremony to reward deserving lecturers and therefore encouraged lecturers to apply for the Grant.

The Deputy Director of DRIC, Dr. Frederick Ato Armah, took participants through Authorship, Conflict, Data salami slicing; Challenges with the peer review process and attributes of a successful researcher. Other areas were Getting intimate with publish or perish calculator; Identifying credible outlets for research outputs; Useful toolkits and reporting guidelines for academics and researchers.
