Ghartey Hall Welcomes its 2021/2022 Freshmen
The Ghartey Hall, University of Education, Winneba (UEW), has held an orientation programme for its fresh students of the 2022 academic year at the South Campus Assembly Hall.
The programme enabled Management and Executives of the Hall to interact with the level 100 students while imbuing in them the essence of their royalty as bona fide members of the hall whose members are known as royals. The occasion also allowed freshmen to acculturalise to the principles and values of the Royal Hall. The orientation programme had hundreds of students in attendance.
In welcoming participants to the orientation on behalf of the Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. B. B. B. Bingab, Dr. Juliana Daniels, who is Vice-Dean, Student Affairs, charged affiliates of the Hall to emulate the impressive footsteps of the continuing students in making Ghartey Hall an exemplary Hall in the University. She entreated them to be active residents and affiliates.
“To call yourself a Royal is no joke. You need to be orderly, show discipline, demonstrate self-respect and self-esteem to defend the high status of your royalty. You do not only defend, but you also support. So, it behoves you as Royals to support your Hall Manageress, Hall staff and Executives to ensure orderliness, discipline, and the best atmosphere in your Hall," she advised.
The Manageress of the Hall, Dr. Mrs. Patricia Ananga, noted that Ghartey Hall is a Hall of Greatness that prioritises its members and invests in their success. She also stated that the Hall provides its students with a serene environment to support the delivery of quality university education.
Dr. Mrs. Patricia Ananga underscored the relevance of cooperating with roommates to ensure peace and tranquillity at the hall. "Please try and respect each other, knowing that respect is reciprocal. Try to acknowledge the differences in personalities, and do not expect your roommate to be you, and vice versa. Do unto others, what you have them do unto you. Let’s live together as a family, be ready and willing to share and care. Remember, more importantly, to stay focused on your studies; the primary reason for being here."
She entreated all students to cooperate with the Hall Executives and staff to ensure that the goal of the University is achieved. She also beseeched students to be each other’s keepers.
The President, Students Representative Council, Mr. Felix Donkor, urged all the freshmen and women present to take their books seriously expounding that it was the main aim of coming to the University even though there might be extra-curricular activities to perform.
Hall Supervisor, Ms. Regina Oduro Ankomah; Hall President, Mr. Emmanuel Salifu; and other Heads of the various Blocks of the Hall also delivered words of advice and encouragement to the newly admitted students of the Ghartey Hall.
