The Department of Agricultural Engineering, UCC in collaboration with the Institute for Global Food Security, Queens University Belfast through the support from Agilent Foundation and MARS technologies has organised an international workshop on the topic: “Improving Rice Integrity and Managing Food,” as part of efforts geared towards sensitizing the public and monitoring food fraud and authenticity.
Management Committee of the University has held a four-day retreat to strategise for the 2019/2020 academic year at Senkyi Hotel, in the Eastern Region. The essence of the retreat was to provide an avenue for members, especially the newly appointed provosts to understand fully the duties and responsibilities of their positions and the associated challenges as well as the solutions they can offer, to enable the teamwork together for effective management of the University.
The University has graduated 790 students from the College of Health and Allied Sciences who successfully completed their programmes of study in the 2018/2019 academic year.
These graduates constitute the first session of the 52nd Congregation dedicated to the College of Health and Allied Sciences.
