Contribution to Society

Speaking at the event, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba, Professor Danny Dampson, who spoke on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education, noted that building a progressive nation requires a dedicated labor force that is ready to sacrifice to bring about the transformation that will improve the lives of all. He said the education that students acquire is not just to prepare them to become finished products but to contribute positively to society.

Professor Dampson further admonished the students to be good leaders whose work will be emulated by many and most especially generations after them. ‘I encourage you all and remind you that as leaders you are individuals who should affect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of a significant number of individuals and should, as strategic leaders, chart a path that society will follow,’ he stated.

A speech delivered by the valedictorian of the 2018 graduating class, Mustapha Zakari Nasomah recounted his experiences during the 4 years of studies at the university. He said, he encountered a number of challenges as a student, but giving up on his dreams was never an option. ‘We knew we needed to stop complaining and rather confront the challenges that academic work presented us with. Today, we are all beaming with smiles knowing that we never gave up, rather we fought to the end to get the victor’s medal’, he said.

He charged his colleagues to stay resolute and prove themselves as they go out into the world of industry. ‘As we go out to pursue our individual careers, we must all, as graduating students, bear in mind that there are no guarantees in the world out there. The first phase of the struggle has only ended and the closure of that chapter is never the end of the story. We have been ushered into a new world full of its own peculiar experiences but I believe we have braced up to rise to the occasion’ he emphasized.
