An Australian Professor, David Doward, has donated assorted educational materials comprising computers and books with over 4000 titles to the Department of History.

Speaking at the brief ceremony, Prof. Doward said the shipment of the items was made possible by the Australian High Commission, an expensive undertaking which was worth commending. He said in contemplating where to express his gesture, UCC came to the fore, and as he put it, “there was no better place than UCC.”

The Vice-Chancellor, Rev. Prof. E. A. Obeng has appealed to the Australian High Commissioner to assist the University to attract qualified professional staff for the UCC School of Medical Sciences.

The Vice-Chancellor, Rev. Prof. E. A. Obeng has admonished freshmen and women to eschew all vices and pursue the academic goal they have been enjoined to undertake during their stay on campus.

Rev. Prof. Obeng said this during a matriculation ceremony held for 4,233 students admitted to pursue various programmes in the University for the 2007/2008 academic year. With this ceremony, the students have been accepted into the privileges, rights and responsibilities in the University.
