After a number of failed attempts by previous student groups, the Central University branch of the Graduate Students Association of Ghana GRASAG-CENTRAL, has been inaugurated.
New executives for the branch were also inducted into office with the call on them to live and govern the student body in integrity.
The new executives are Bernard Agyei Aryee as president, Gilbert Amponsah, Vice President, Rena Akua Ghunney Secretary, and Judith Queenie Kwofie, Vice Secretary.
Others are Richard Donkor, Organizer, Lola Asiseh Ashitey, Women’s Commissioner and Abena Nkyaa Korankye.
Speaking at the ceremony, the acting Dean of Central University Business School, Dr. Adelaide Naa Amerley Kastner, emphasized that every leader is expected to live in integrity.
According to her, integrity was an essential part of the life of every godly leader, saying “since this university is founded on the Christian faith, it was necessary for student leaders to live above reproach.”
Mrs. Katsner added that the new executives should manage their time wisely and be role models to the undergraduate students.
She further stated that integrity was the foundation of good leaderships and it behooved on the new leadership to lay a good foundation for the next crop of leaders.
New president, Mr. Aryee, called on his fellow students to have values and vision to be transformational leaders in all their endeavours.
According to him, a transformational leader exercised great responsibility, works hard, and was not satisfied with the status quo, but rather motivates his organizations to achieve higher goals.
In his view, transformational leaders have visions that were built on the past, but sees greater possibilities in creating values to find a bigger and more inclusive vision for the future.
Mr. Aryee said GRASAG-CENTRAL intends to move as a unified team with speed and dynamism, to serve the interest of all graduate students adding that “our leadership will encourage virtual learning platforms, dubbed Virtual-Study-Groups to enable us to cope with studies in the midst of our busy schedules.”
