He also encouraged the students to uphold academic excellence and let  the ‘Truth be their Guide’ for that was the basis on which the University was established.

The President of GRASAG-UCC, Mr. Albert Awortwi Sagoe then addressed the students on the roles, culture and responsibilities of the Association (GRASAG UCC). He explained that the Association was there to facilitate their stay on campus and organized educative programs which would enhance the students’ knowledge in research.
