A group of 49 pupils from some basic schools in Togo and Ivory Coast are in UCC on a one-month study visit. This is part of the language immersion programme.

While at UCC, the pupils will learn the English Language at the UCC Basic School. 

The pupils, made up of 40 Ivorians and 9 Togolese, have been assigned Ghanaian mother-figures who will take care of them throughout their stay in Ghana. 

Mrs. Georgina Aglobtse - Head of UCC Basic School (South Campus)

The Head of UCC Basic School (South Campus), Mrs. Georgina Aglobtse, at a brief ceremony to welcome the visiting pupils and their teachers to UCC, described the educational tour by the students as "home away from home" and assured them of a comfortable stay whilst in Ghana. 

She expressed gratitude to the hosting families for their sacrifice. 

Mr. Hilaire Biossey, a teacher at the College Planque, Togo, in a brief remark, thanked the management of UCC Basic School for the warm hospitality.

Participants Applaud Maiden UCC Research Summer School

13 Jul, 2023 By DIS

Participants in the maiden Research Summer School organised by the Directorate of Research, Innovation and Consultancy (DRIC) of University of Cape Coast (UCC) have expressed gratitude to the University for the opportunity to be part of the event.


The five-day Summer School equipped participants with core skills and tools on article writing, grant proposal writing, researcher visibility, time and stress management, and scientific presentation skills.

Others were Qualitative and Quantitative Research Data Analyses and Management; Planning and Project Management; and Research, Ethics and Stewardship.

The participants gave the commendations at the closing ceremony of the maiden Research Summer School held at the Conference Room of the School of Graduate Studies.


A Participant, Mrs. Bertha Enyonam, from the School of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, observed that the Summer School had met her expectation.

Mrs. Bertha Enyonam- a participant


"...I have learnt that researchers should be conversant with all the research methods: qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. I think the one week is not enough. Iappeal to DRIC to dedicate a whole day for qualitative and another day set aside for quantitative tuition. I am most grateful to UCC for the enlightenment," she added.


Mr. Yussif Zakaria, a tutor at the Tumu College of Education, said: "One of my career aspirations is to be at the forefront of graduate training and this workshop has really encouraged me. Being a quantitative research bias person, maybe next time, we can add impact evaluation to the package.

Mr. Yussif Zakaria


Another, Mr. Awiah Wilson, from the University of Development Studies in Tamale, noted that participating in the maiden Summer School had broadened his academic horizon and pledged to be an ambassador of the DRIC organised Research Summer School.


"Before the Summer School, I rated myself 4/10. At the end of the third day, I rated myself -4/10 because I realised that I knew nothing about research.  Now, I am assuring DRIC that I will be an ambassador for this Summer School when I go back to the Northern Region.  I will equally share with my colleagues what I have learnt at UCC," he said.


Ms Jemimah Otemah, from the Atibie Nursing and Midwifery College in Kwahu in the Eastern Region, said the days earmarked for the Summer School was very inadequate and asked for more days.


Dr. Raymond Kofinti, a Senior Lecturer at UCC, said he had benefitted immensely from the Research Summer School and praised DRIC for the initiative and asked for its sustenance as yearly event.

Closing the maiden Research Summer School, the Director of DRIC, Prof. David Teye Doku, expressed appreciation to the participants and facilitators for making the event successful.


"The goal of the Research Summer School is not to make money but to share knowledge to make positive impact in society," said Prof. Doku, who urged the participants to be good ambassadors of the Summer School at their workplaces.

At the end of the five-day Research Summer School, each participant received a certificate of participation.

13 Jul, 2023 By DIS

The Director of the Directorate of Consular and General Services (DCGS) of University of Cape Coast, Mrs. Alberta Yaa Graham, has received in official visit the new District Fire Officer of UCC Fire Station, Divisional Fire Officer (DO) II, Ms. Dorinda Ackah.

The visit by DO II Ackah was to introduce herself to Mrs. Graham as the new District Fire Officer of the UCC Fire Station.

According to DO II Ackah, fire safety was a shared responsibility, and called for collaboration to reduce the incidents of fire in the country. She, however, stressed that firefighters on campus would continue to share key fire safety tips with the public, especially staff and students, to prevent undesired fires.

For her part, Mrs. Graham, after welcoming DO II Ackah, urged her to remain steadfast and committed to the mandate of the Ghana National Fire Service to save lives and property.

From left to right: Mr. Mumuni Yakubu, a Junior Assistant Registrar at DCGS and Secretary of Campus Security and Safety Committee; DOII Dorinda Ackah, Head of UCC Fire Service Station; Mrs. Alberta Yaa Graham, Director of DCGS; Mr. Francis Eyaa, Senior Fire Prevention Officer and Head of UCC Fire Safety Unit, and Mr. Ignatius P.K. Otsibu, Head of Consular and Immigration Services Section, DCGS.

Globally, she added, there had been a paradigm shift from firefighting to fire prevention.

The Director, therefore, advised firefighters to continuously educate the public on the need to adhere to fire safety protocols and regulations.

Mrs. Graham maintained that undesired fires were preventable provided every individual adhered to fire safety protocols. 

Present at the meeting with the Director of CGS-UCC were, Mr. Mumuni Yakubu, Junior Assistant Registrar, CGS-UCC and Mr. Ignatius P.K. Otsibu, Head of Consular and Immigration Services Section, CGS-UCC.

Chairman of the Board of Management of the College, Ehunuabobrim Prah Agensaim VI

 

He narrated a harrowing account of an experience an old woman recounted to have suffered at the hands of some nurses at a health post in his traditional area to him. He said the poor attitude of some nurses led the woman to trek miles back to her village, in tears, without getting the needed medical assistance for her grandson. The Board Chair reminded the new nurses and midwives of their call to serve and cautioned them against disrespecting their clients. He tasked them to uphold the ethics of their chosen profession.

Ehunuabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI also acknowledged the sterling contribution of the Principal of the College, Mrs Ophelia Nkrumah Johannes, towards the growth of the College from its humble beginnings to the force it is becoming in the training of midwives and general nurses needed for Ghana’s health sector.

 

 

Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, Sir Dr. Sam Essoun Jonah

Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, Sir Dr. Sam Essoun Jonah, duly matriculated the continuing and fresh students, as well as conferred Diplomas on the graduands.

He reiterated the need for the fresh graduates to exhibit the highest level of professionalism. He also entreated the fresh and continuing students to take their studies seriously and make meaning of the investments being made in their training.

“The College has received a donation of 22.23 acres of land from Oyoko Odame Amankra family of Assin Adubiase to be used as a satellite campus. Currently, the School has planted maize on almost 7 acres of the land” she acknowledged.

She made special mention of Dr. Justice Agyenim-Boateng, Head of Institutional Affiliation Office, UCC and Prof. Anokye Mohammed Adam, Provost of the College of Distance Education, UCC who assisted the College to go through the process of getting affiliated to UCC.

Google-Ghana Interacts with Students

13 Jul, 2023 By DIS

 

Technology giant, Google, has held a seminar for staff and students of University of Cape Coast (UCC) on the current trends of Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

The Head of Google-Ghana, Mr. Jason Hickey, said Google was rolling out generative AI to its core search engine. He noted that AI, particularly with the recent breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs), had brought about revolutionary transformation in the world.

According to him, the impact of AI on jobs and democracies could be both positive and negative, depending on the steps adopted in guiding its development in the immediate future.

Mr. Hickey was speaking at a seminar on the topic, "Exploring the Future" at the University of Cape Coast.

Head of Google-Ghana, Mr. Jason Hickey

 

He said the company had introduced a new feature on Google's Android System that would proactively warn users about unknown AirTags-tiny devices developed to track personal items like keys and wallets.

According to him, Google now wants to position itself as an "AI first" company with research centres in African countries

The Head of Google-Ghana maintained that bad building structures in most rural African countries were riddled with poor planning plans. He, therefore, pointed out that Google had developed AI modules to recognise buildings in the rural areas of African countries.

Also, he said the company had adopted AI to forecast weather to overcome the challenges many African countries faced with weather forecast.

Mr. Hickey observed that Google would help students and staff of UCC to be abreast of all AI modules.

 

 

Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics-UCC, Dr. Stephen Moore

 

A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics at UCC, Dr. Stephen Moore, in his remarks, said the School of Sustainable Engineering at UCC would partner with Google to train students to become AI experts.

He maintained that jobs were in abundance in Ghana and wondered why the country was battling with the scourge of youth unemployment. Dr. Moore, therefore, entreated unemployed graduates to capitalise on the study of Data Science to become AI experts to earn sustainable income.

Other speakers at the seminar included Mr. Jean-Michael Amath Sar and Mohammed Elfatif Mohammed Khair, both researchers at Google-Ghana.

Present at the seminar was the Director of the Directorate of Research Innovation and Consultancy (DRIC-UCC), Prof. David Teye Doku.
