The Galore College of Education has held its 5th matriculation ceremony for newly admitted students for the 2018 academic year group.
The college welcome new students into its academic faculties and programs during the ceremony that was held last Wednesday.
According to the President of the college, Mr. James Appiah matriculation signifies that students are prepared to take on the demands of higher education, and the oaths remind them to follow the norms and regulations that govern living on campus. Additionally, this bestows the obligations, rights, and privileges of studentship.
“You are here to make something for yourselves and add value to your life to become an expert, a business manager, a professional, deserving of respect and the good life that comes with honest work and its reward,” he said.
He charged the fresh students to refrain from actions that would jeopardise their academic journey and the peace they enjoyed in the university community.
“Have a positive attitude towards your academic and social life, not forgetting your religious beliefs,” he stated.
Mr Appiah said the college provided many new things to learn, albeit with challenges, as they adjusted to college life and study, adding that the tutors and staff were committed to ensuring the effective preparation of students to excel academically, socially, economically.
The college will give you the tools to reason, make judgements, ask tough questions, and become excellent critical thinkers, and it will also be a place where your hidden talents will be discovered, and your known talents fine-tuned,” he said.
“…So that you will become the person to go out to make the institution, country, and whole African Continent proud and positively impact the entire world.”
He, therefore, challenged the matriculants to be open minded towards taking up stewardship roles while working towards better service to the nation.
