The Graduate School of the University of Ghana (UG) has held a congregation for 4,389 students.
The number consisted of 120 Doctor of Philosophy students.
They were from the Colleges of Basic and Applied Sciences; Education; Health Sciences and Humanities.
Speaking at the ceremony in Accra on Friday, January 26, the Dean of Graduate School, UG, Prof Robert Darko Osei said the School of Graduate Studies works with the academic units in providing exceptional training and ensuring the successful graduation of students.
“We value greatly the work done by our graduate students, each research project undertaken and scholarly article published under the name of this great institution contributes to its vision of becoming a world-class intensive University.
“The graduation of our students is a testament to this commitment and today, we rejoice in the success alongside their families,” he stated.
He said the school acknowledged that the road to their graduation may not have been the smoothest, and may have been wrought with personal, political, and economic challenges.
However, Prof Osei said they had been resilient, and the school was certain that their experiences, coupled with the knowledge and skills they had acquired would help them serve as agents of change wherever they found themselves.
He urged the graduands to carry forward the values of truth and integrity.
“Let these principles guide you in your professional and personal lives, making a positive impact in your communities and beyond. The UG takes pride in your accomplishments and looks forward to your contributions to society… We are proud of each one of you for reaching this significant milestone,” he added.
He also urged them to always see the ceremony as a reminder of their hard work, determination, and the support of those who have been part of their journey.
“We congratulate you on your well-deserved success and extend our best wishes for your future endeavours. May God bless each one of you abundantly, step into the next chapter of your lives,” he added.
