She decried the lack of support for the fashion industry in the country. She, therefore, called on corporate bodies, organisations and individuals to come on board to support the initiative to promote the fashion industry at the University.

CIUCC holds Industrial Lecture for Students

09 Aug, 2023 By DIS

The Confucius Institute, University of Cape Coast (CIUCC) has held an industrial lecture for its students to equip them with the needed knowledge to stay relevant on the job market.

The event, which saw in attendance the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof.

Kwabena Sarfo Sarfo-Kantanka; the Ghana Director of CIUCC, Prof. Emmanuel Amoh Ofori and the College Registrar of the College of Humanities and Legal Studies, Mr. Ebenezer Aggrey, had two Chinese accomplished Ghanaian industry players addressing the students. The two, Madam Yang Yang, Founder and CEO of Zonda Tec and the Human Resource Manager at KEDA Ceramics Ghana Limited, Luo spoke on “Women Empowerment in Chinese Enterprises” and “Understanding Chinese Business Culture and Etiquette: Keys to Succeeding Enterprises” respectively.

The China Director of CIUCC, Prof Ou Yamei.

Welcoming participants to the lecture, the China Director of CIUCC, Prof Ou Yamei, indicated that building successful individual entrepreneurial ventures was partly hinged on entrepreneurs taking a cue from the success stories of developed and accomplished companies. She maintained that the lecture was to expose the students to the world of business and the skills needed to stay successful.

Speaking on the topic, “Understanding Chinese Business Culture and Etiquette: Keys to Succeeding Enterprises” the Human Resource Manager at KEDA Ceramics Ghana Limited, Luo Yan, said the Chinese thrived on hard work, social networking, maintaining a peaceful surrounding and making good impressions.

She said the Chinese had a common understanding that working diligently and bracing all odds to achieve set goals and targets was crucial to growing their enterprises.  She added that being sensitive to one’s surrounding, punctuality, building a credible personality as well as gaining the art to negotiate within the business terrain were some of the concepts inculcated into Chinese enterprises.

On her part, the founder and CEO of Zonda Tec, Ms. Yang Yang, counseled the students to devote themselves to their work and pursue excellence in that regard instead of concentrating on the gains they stand to make.  She further indicated that being a good leader and setting the pace for others to follow were key attributes every entrepreneur should have.

Ms. Yang noted that budding entrepreneurs must take advantage of opportunities around them, have passion to push their entrepreneurial agenda and stay committed and serious.

She was quick to indicate that the world, especially the business terrain, was not the preserve of men only hence, she charged women to position themselves well by researching, taking initiative and communicate effectively while showing respect in order to excel.

The participants were allowed to pose questions to the resource persons during an interactive session. Generally, the students were impressed with the lecture and called for more such educative sessions to build their competencies.

Consequently, the visiting delegation was briefed by the  Prof. Boampong on the history, mission, vision and laurels of the UCC , a breakdown of the governance structure, colleges,  academic and administrative directorates of the University.

Forensic Science Students demonstrate Expert witness testimony in moot court

08 Aug, 2023 By DIS

Level 300 students of the Department of Forensic Sciences of University of Cape Coast have demonstrated their competences  in giving expert witness testimony in two cases from a mock crime scene.

The event took place in a moot court room at the Sam Jonah Law Library on the 28th of July, 2023. 

The students, reading a course titled, "FSC 308A:  Expert Witness Testimony,"  were armed with  practical and technical experiences in giving opinions on evidence from cases they work on for either  the defense or prosecution in court.

The students prior to the court, processed evidence found on a mock crime scene and, with the state-of-the-art resources and equipment in their laboratory analysed the evidences retrieved.

The students grouped themselves into four with prosecution and defence counsels for the two case scenarios.

For the first  scenario, the focus was on document analysis, while  the second scenario, they were to conduct serology analysis on a murder case. 

Each side was represented by an expert witness who presented the evidence in court and was subjected to cross-examination. The witnesses were able to adduce incontrovertible evidence in their areas of expertise to the courtroom as expert witnesses.

Involve Local Communities in Coastal Tourism Development - Prof. Ishmael Mensah

08 Aug, 2023 By DIS

A professor of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Prof. Ishmael Mensah, has appealed to stakeholders and operators in the tourism value chain to involve local communities in coastal tourism development.

He observed that local communities were the linchpin of the protection of coastal resources and sustainability of the tourism industry and, therefore, urged tourism practitioners to consider the aspirations of the locals at various stages of tourism development.

"If we involve them (local people in the communities), then they will have the sense of ownership and will want to help safeguard the beach" said Prof Mensah, who maintained that such a move would stamp out the destructive acts by locals along the coasts.

Prof. Mensah said this whilst delivering his inaugural lecture on the topic, "Evolution of Coastal Tourism in Ghana: Paradise Found, Paradise Lost,  or Paradise Regained?"

The lecture was attended by members of academia, civil society orgainsations, students and other personalities.

Shedding light on his  research about community participation, he maintained that local communities were always subjected to tokenism and that authorities in the tourism sector blatantly sidelined local communities from tourism development.

"Again as a researcher, I have done a lot of community participation in the communities around the Kakum National Park and also Bobiri Forest Reserve and it has always been clear that local communities are always subject to some tokenism that community participation often is just a facade. In reality, communities are not involved in tourism" Prof. Mensah said.

He described as alarming the rate at which huge piles of plastic were washed into the sea and onto the beaches, forcing revelers to nickname some as 'borla beach', 'titanic beach' among others.

Prof. Mensah expressed grave concern about the disappearing wildlife, vegetation species, animals, monuments and sands at beaches as a result of the destructive activities of locals and  coastal erosion, as well as climate change.

To make tourism attractive, he called for stiffer legislation to ward off miscreants in  communities from destroying the coastal environment and asked for pragmatic measures to mitigate the negative impact of climate change on the tourism sector.

He admitted that legislation was not enough to ensure a clean beach and, therefore, recommeded  the establishment of a coastal or beach authority to prevent illegal mining of sand, open defecation and the dumping of refuse at the beaches.

Whilst lauding successive governments for constructing sea defense walls along beaches to prevent erosion, Prof. Mensah questioned the rationale behind the construction of rocky sea  defense walls along all the beaches in the country.

He, however, pointed out that "For certain aspect of the sea, we can import sand from other parts of the country to fill up and widen the areas that are used for recreational purposes."

Speaking further, Prof. Mensah implored all players in the tourism sector to prioritise customer service to attract more clients to their facilities.

"I believe that the quality of services at our resorts and our hotels along the beaches need to improve drastically," he observed. To that end, Prof. Mensah recommended the training of managers and staff who host visitors and guests at tourism facilities in the country on quality customer care service delivery.
