Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu congratulating a retiree
Annually, the University dedicates a day to celebrate employees who are retiring at the end of the academic year. This year’s event which took place at the Poolside of the Sports Directorate was particularly significant because it brought together not only current retirees but also extended an invitation to all pensioners of the University as part of activities to commemorate its 70th anniversary.
The Registrar, Mrs. Mercy Haizel-Aisha who welcomed the retirees expressed Management’s gratitude to them for their dedicated service and immeasurable contribution to the University and extended best wishes for a continuous health and fulfilling retirement.
