UCC Launches 60th Anniversary celebrations

22 Apr, 2022 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast, UCC, has launched its 60th anniversary celebrations with the theme, “60 Years of Quality Higher Education: Expanding the Frontiers”.

 

The colourful event congregated high level government officials and politicians, members of academia, traditional rulers, students and alumni of the University.

 

Series of activities including inaugural lectures, health walks, Chancellor's Day, sporting activities as well as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial lecture, have been lined up as part of the celebrations with a grand durbar scheduled for October 27, 2022 to climax it.

 

Speaking as guest of honour for the launch, the honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, congratulated UCC on its 60th anniversary and charged the University to expand the frontiers of quality education.

To achieve that, he tasked UCC to lead educational reforms in the country instead of leaving it in the hands of politicians.

 

"UCC should lead the way of education reforms in the country. It should never be the preserve of the Ministry of Education to come up with ideas. UCC is the forefront of education transformation" the minister said.

 

Dr. Adutwum urged UCC to churn out graduates who would adjust to the demands of industry and fit for the job market. He also advised the University to set up a "Neighbourhood Academic Initiative" aimed at sending volunteers to mentor and guide primary school children in the Cape Coast metropolis. This, he believes, would help change the educational narrative of natives of Cape Coast failing to access quality education though the area is touted as Ghana’s educational haven. Towards this end, he promised to donate a vehicle to UCC to facilitate the transportation of volunteers.

 

Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, in his address, made mentioned of the notable feats recently chalked by UCC. The achievements included being ranked among the top 350 universities globally, first in Ghana, first in West Africa and first in research influence globally, among others.

He attributed the enviable accomplishment to the efforts of staff, students and retirees of the University.

 

Climaxing the event, the honourable Minister of Education joined by some dignitaries, cut a branded UCC at 60 anniversary cake to mark the launch.

                                       

Prior to the launch, Dr. Adutwum inspected a guard of honour mounted by the UCC Central Cadet Band at the forecourt of the New Examination Centre, venue for the event.

 

Chairman of the UCC Council who also chaired the event, Prof. Obeng Mireku, in his closing remarks said UCC would join the education ministry to promote STEM education in the country. He underscored the need for the minister to impress on the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission to grant the University accreditation to offer engineering programs.

 

Members of the UCC Council, Prof. Obeng Mireku and members; Past Vice-Chancellors and Pro Vice-Chancellors of UCC; British High Commissioner, H.E Harriet Thompson; Central Regional Minister, Mrs. Justina Marigold Assan; Member of Parliament for Cape Coast North, Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku; Oguaamanhen, Osabarima  Kwesi Atta II and members of the Oguaa traditional Council among several others graced the occasion.

UCC Holds Orientation for 2nd Cohort of Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies at Ghana Police Academy

20 Apr, 2022 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast has held an orientation for three hundred and six (306) Cadet officers who will be enrolling in the Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies at the Ghana Police Academy, Ghana Police Training School in Accra.

The cadet officers form the second cohort of the Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies being run by the University in partnership with the Ghana Police Service.

Addressing the cadet officers, the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, Prof. Sarah Darkwa, noted that postgraduate programmes at UCC demanded that students be dedicated to their academic work in order to succeed. She noted, for instance, that a student needed a minimum of 60 per cent to pass unlike 50 per cent for undergraduates.

Prof. Darkwa said the School of Graduate Studies (SGS), which was responsible for coordinating graduate programmes in the University, had put in place measures to provide support to the cadet officers once their admission process was complete. She urged the cadet officers to carefully read the Academic Policies & Regulations for Graduate Studies to guide them in their academic journey in the University. “We have distributed copies of this document so that you will read and be conversant with graduate studies at UCC even before you start your programme,” she noted.

The Dean of SGS further advised them to abide by the rules and regulations of the University and form group studies for sharing of knowledge among themselves.

The Head, Department of Forensic Sciences, Dr. Christian Adokoh, noted that the Department was proud to host the Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies. He explained that the Department runs Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences in addition to the Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies. According to Dr. Adokoh, the two programmes aimed at supporting the security services to enhance criminal investigation and also equip learners with the needed expertise.

He disclosed that the Department would soon run Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Security and Forensic Sciences to create a strong career path for the Ghana Police Service in particular and the security services in Ghana and Africa in general. “The goal of the Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies is to provide students with knowledge in the principles and practice of leadership, management, and administration as it relates to security services” he elaborated.

The immediate past Head, Department of Forensic Sciences, Dr. Richmond Afoakwa, stated that the programme was developed by UCC in collaboration with Ghana Police Service and was opened to personnel who go through the Ghana Police Academy. “Some senior police officials were instrumental in developing the curriculum for the programme,” he noted.

Dr. Afoakwa reminded the cadet officers that UCC was known for its high academic standards and would not entertain any compromises that would jeopardise this standard.

The Head of Students’ Records Section, Mr. Abdulai Mohammed Naiimudeen, took the students through the registration of courses and processing of students' results.

The Commandant of the Police Academy, DCOP Baba Saanid Adamu advised the officers to count themselves lucky to acquire academic certificate as part of the Cadet Officers Course 51 at the Academy. “Some of us didn’t get this opportunity when we were in the Academy so do your best to grab the certificate from this prestigious university as part of your credentials. It would one day open avenues for you as you advance in your career,” he urged them.

Present at the programme were the Dean, School of Biological Sciences, Prof. Kwabena Sarfo; Senior Lecturers, Department of Forensic Sciences, Dr. Benjamin Aboagye and Dr. Mrs. Charlotte Omane Kwakye-Nuako. Others were Administrator of the Department, Mr. Samuel Cudjoe and some staff of the Department.

 

Background of Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies

The University of Cape Coast and the Ghana Police Service signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to run a Postgraduate Diploma programme in Security Studies in February, 2021.

The programme, which is being run by the Department of Forensic Sciences and hosted at the Police Academy in Accra, aims at upgrading the knowledge of personnel of the service in security issues, enhance their performance and improve service delivery. 

The pioneer students of the programme graduated at the 54th Congregation of UCC held in December, 2021.

19 Apr, 2022 By DIS

Vice-Chancellor of University of Cape Coast, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, has cut sod for the construction of a 13 million Cedis multi-purpose building for the Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience, University of Cape Coast (ACECoR-UCC).

The facility, to be constructed in three phases, has FAS Consult as consultant and Antartic Limited as the constructor.  The building comprises offices, lecture rooms, and a kitchenette. The project is estimated to be completed within an 18-month time span.

In his opening remarks, the Vice-Chancellor was positive the construction of the facility would enhance the infrastructural development of the University.  He was hopeful the consultant, constructor and the Directorate of Physical Development and Estate Management (DPDEM) would ensure the timely completion of the facility.

Director of ACECoR-UCC, Prof. Denis Worlanyo Ahetor, in a brief remark thanked the Vice-Chancellor for consenting to siting the facility close to the coast. According to him, the facility will have three wings- north, south and east. However, the 13 million Cedis funds at hand will be used in the construction of the north wing of the project.  While expressing appreciation to the funders of the project, World Bank and Association of African Universities, Prof. Ahetor also appealed for more financial support in ensuring the construction of the other wings of the facility.

Registrar of UCC, Mr. Jeff Teye Onyame;  Director of Human Resource, Rev. Isaac Barfi Sarbeng; Director of DPDEM, Mr. Philip Ntim Owusu; Director of Public Affairs, Major (Rtd) Kofi Baah Bentum among others graced the occasion.

UCC Alumnus Urges Students to Focus on Solving Societal Problems

19 Apr, 2022 By DIS

An alumnus of University of Cape Coast, UCC, Mr. George Marklin Adjabeng, has challenged students to come out with creative and innovative ideas aimed at solving societal problems.

 

Mr. Adjabeng, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Ecodyst Limited, a firm based in the US, said this while delivering a lecture on the theme: "Beyond Chemistry: The transition from Chemistry Laboratory to Business and Navigating Global Entrepreneurship".

 

It was organised by the Department of Chemistry in collaboration with the Institutional Advancement Office as part of the Alumni Seminar Series.

He entreated student entrepreneurs to identify problems confronting society and take giant steps to resolve them rather than throwing up their hands in despair when faced with societal problems. That, according to him, was a stepping stone for them to rack their brains to get solutions to societal problems.

 

"As students, once you are on campus. one of the things is to identify problems. Anything that is frustrating you is pregnant with solutions", said Mr. Adjabeng.

He continued, "When you imagine an existing idea without knowing it exists, then, it is still an original idea for you to be creative to find solutions to problems."

 

Mr. Adjabeng, who read chemistry and completed UCC in 2000, advised student entrepreneurs not to enter into business with the mindset of getting rich quickly, but think of satisfying a need in society.

 

Sharing his life experience on his career progression, Mr. Agyabeng said he encountered difficulties in his untiring efforts to develop EcoChyll lab rotary evaporator, a lab equipment to efficiently and gently remove solvents from both inorganic and organic analytes and polymeric materials.

 

However, he overcame the enormous odds to develop the equipment, which has intelligent self-cooling condenser technology that is fast and efficient at condensing vapours, including aqueous solvents.

 

Dr. Agyabeng, who also discovered the cancer drug Tafinlar, used the occasion to encourage student entrepreneurs to take risks and not to give up in their drive to succeed in life. 

 

He dispelled the popular misconception that chemistry was a difficult programme and advised students to form study groups to facilitate their studies. He appealed to alumni to support the University, which had helped them attain various heights in life.

 

The chairman of the event, the Dean of the School of Physical Sciences, Prof. Emmanuel K. Essel, in a short address, encouraged young entrepreneurs to preserve to achieve their dreams.

 

In a welcome address, the Head of the Department of Chemistry, Prof. Atsu Barku, reminded alumni of the University to contribute their quota towards the development of their alma mater. He expressed gratitude to Mr. Adjabeng for his enormous support to the Department.

 

Prior to the lecture, Mr. George Marklin Adjabeng, who took a departmental tour to the EcoChyll Equipment Room, walked staff and students of the Department through the operations of the EcoChyll lab rotary evaporator, which he donated to the Department in 2021.

 

The Director of D-Hub, Dr. Keren Naa Arthur, was present at the lecture, as well as the Director of Research, Innovation and Consultancy (DRIC), Prof Frederick Ato Armah and the Dean of the School of Allied Health Sciences, Prof. Desmond Omane-Acheampong.

Funding is Crucial in Research - Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang

19 Apr, 2022 By DIS

A former Vice-Chancellor of University of Cape Coast, UCC, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has underscored the need for researchers to be financially resourced to undertake research for the development of the country. According to her, tertiary institutions must objectively review the research component of their funding.

‘Research costs money, it requires adequate funding and necessary equipment,’ she observed.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang made these remarks while delivering the maiden public lecture of the UCC wing of the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG-UCC). The event formed part of activities commemorating the 60th anniversary celebration of UCC. Themed; ‘Future Shape of Sustainable Graduate Education’, the lecture brought together students, Provosts, Deans, heads of Departments, traditional leaders, as well as representatives of some religious bodies.

She recommended funding by the sectors of industry that would benefit directly from research efforts. Such beneficiaries, the former Vice-Chancellor pointed out, could be weaned off government scholarship so that the fund allocated would support those with interesting ideas ‘ but not necessarily with any funder.’

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang also used the occasion to clarify a popular misinterpretation that she was pushing for the scrapping of the research allowance to establish a research fund during her tenure as Education Minister.

According to her, due to the high financial commitment to research in the country, very capable members of faculty have fallen short of achieving so much in the area of research due to lack of opportunity including funding. The former UCC Vice-Chancellor said she only proposed an inculcation of the research allowance into the salaries of university teachers and not its scrapping.

“The research we had done then, the lobbying we had done from the ministry and the big funders we had approached…coincided with our initial idea that rather, let us include the research allowance into the salary so it does not hang as an allowance and we did not mean scrapping which had become a buzz word then” she explained.

She further explained that upon rolling the allowance into salaries of lecturers, which would be paid over a twelve month period within a year instead of being paid in bulk, beneficiaries would not ‘lose anything’. This would have then paved way for the creation of the fund which would support research extensively, she added.  This intervention, however, was largely condemned.

 At that time, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said she had wanted academia to provide her with concrete research findings to demonstrate their likability or otherwise for research allowance and not research fund.

Speaking to the alumni of the University, she urged them to promote the image of the University and raise ‘our centers of research as places where values could be added to existing practice.’

She lauded the University for introducing course work, joint degrees, article base thesis, and academic writing courses for graduate students.

She was however quick to point out to university authorities the need to consider using academic writing course as part of the processes of admitting graduate students.

She commended Nana Sam Brew Butler, a former Chairman of the UCC Council and Sir (Dr.) Sam Jonah, Chancellor of UCC, for their contributions to funding and facilitating the work of graduate studies.

Prof Opoku-Agyemang also extolled the University’s desire for novelties. “The distinctive character of UCC is our penchant for innovations. We grow most of our programmes from scratch and carefully develop them into sustainable and relevant ends” she added.

The event was chaired by the Provost of the College of Distance Education (CoDE), Prof. Isaac Galyuon.
