ANGLICAN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY HOLDS 9TH MATRICULATION
The
Anglican University College of Technology has held its 9th
Matriculation ceremony.
The
ceremony, held on Saturday, 20th January, 2024 at the Nkoranza
campus of the University College saw about 230 students taking the
Matriculation oath. The ceremony was to formally induct matriculants
as bona fide students into the institution.
Swearing
the matriculation oath, the students, the highest number since the University
College’s inception, promised to abide by all the rules and regulations of the
institution.
In
his matriculation address, the Ag. President Solomon Panford Esq. APR, said matriculation
day is historic for both students and the University as for the University, it
is a day that the student is required to take an oath that must not be breached
during one’s period of stay while for the matriculants, it is a day they can
officially say they are students of the institution.
He informed the students that, like starting anything new, it
was natural to experience several conflicting feelings: uncertainty and fear of
the unknown, as well as curiosity and excitement about the opportunities that
lie ahead of them. He urged them to ensure they obey all rules and
regulations; as ‘any individual who comes into conflict with these will take
individual responsibility for any action or inaction on their part, as the case
may be’.
Adding
on he said students should use the support
system available to them and follow the official grievance procedures,
should any of them have cause to complain.
Advising the matriculants, the Ag. President said
the freedom available to them in a tertiary institution like ANGUTECH should be managed
very well by striking a fair balance between academic work and other extra
curricula activities including religious and social activities.
On behalf of the
entire institution, he welcomed the students to ANGUTECH and
wished them well in their studies, God’s blessings and protection throughout
their period of stay in the University and to become responsible citizens to
help the growth and development of Ghana
and beyond.
Present
at the ceremony were the Registrar, Deans, heads of department, members of
convocation, some executives of the SRC and Senior and junior staff of the
University College.
