He urged the matriculants to take the oath seriously, internalise its meaning and allow it to guide their academic and personal conduct throughout their stay on campus.
He encouraged students to take full advantage of the available facilities and opportunities to ensure a successful and impactful academic experience.
Administering the matriculation pronouncement, Prof. Esther Yeboah Danso-Wiredu, the Pro Vice-Chancellor, formally admitted the students to the rights, privileges and responsibilities of their respective schools, faculties and departments. She congratulated the fresh students on successfully navigating the University’s competitive admissions process and described their admission as a major milestone in their academic journey.
Prof. Esther Danso-Wiredu emphasised that the University remains committed to training competent professional teachers for all levels of education, advancing knowledge through research, disseminating scholarly work and contributing meaningfully to educational policy and national development.
Highlighting the University’s student-centred philosophy of education, she underscored the importance of holistic development and encouraged the matriculants to embrace discipline, hard work and integrity.
The ceremony concluded with the Registrar formally dissolving the assembly, marking the end of an important academic tradition that ushers in a new generation of scholars.
