A former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Rev. Prof. S. K. Adjepong, has described UCC Distance Education as number one in Ghana.
"...UCC, the University of Competitive Choice is number one and blazing the trail when it comes to Distance Education in the whole country", he said.
The University of Cape Coast has been selected by the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) to host an African Diaspora scholar from the United States to work on a collaborative project on “Enhancing UCC’s Hydrology Curriculum and Hydrologic Research Output through the Establishment of a Coastal Watershed and Wetlands Field Research Station”.
The College of Distance Education (CoDE) has donated photocopier machine to the University Primary School.
The donation follows a request by the school to CoDE for a photocopier machine.
The Provost of CoDE, Prof. Isaac Galyuon, who presented the equipment on behalf of CoDE at a short ceremony, said the donation was to help promote teaching and learning in the school. He thanked his two predecessors - Prof. George K. T. Oduro, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, and Prof. Nelson Buah, the immediate past Pro-Vice-Chancellor, for their immense support towards the donation.
Mr. Malcom Yawson, a former student of the University Kindergarten, has presented plastic chairs and tables to the University Kindergarten.
Mr. Yawson, who was accompanied by members of his family, said the donation was in memory of her late mother, Mrs. Beatrice Aggrey, who was a former teacher of the School in the 80s. He pledged his continuous support for the School and appealed to the teachers not to shirk their responsibility to mould the character of the children in their care.

The School of Graduate Studies has held the second edition of research seminar for postgraduate students at the School of Medical Sciences Auditorium.
The seminar which was organised by the School of Graduate Studies in conjunction with the College of Education Studies, College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, College of Health and Allied Sciences and Graduate Students Association of Ghana was on the theme ‘Enhancing Capacity for Postgraduate Research’.
The University of Cape Coast (UCC), through the facilitation of the Centre for International Education (CIE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute for Development Policy and Management (IOB) of the University of Antwerp (UA) in Belgium.
Aside pursuing academic partnership programmes between the two institutions, the MoU also makes it possible for UCC post-graduate students to apply to be considered for post-graduate studies under the Mastermind Scholarships being funded by the Flemish Universities and Colleges Board (VLUHR) in Belgium.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, Professor Joseph Ghartey Ampiah, has described as unfortunate the misrepresentation of comments he made on reducing cost to the University by some media portals.
He noted that the quest to reduce cost to the University was not in any way an indictment on any person, group of persons or the immediate past administration of the UCC.
The Superintended Minister of the West Cape Coast Circuit of Methodist Church, Very Rev. Ebenezer Boateng-Annimful has urged students and staff of the University to pray and support the new Vice-Chancellor to succeed in his term of office.
That, he noted, would ensure the forward march of the University to achieve its vision and mission.
