The University of Cape Coast (UCC) is 60 years, Hurray! To the university community, the general public and academic watchers, this can only be an exciting news. Needless to suggest, this calls for a mixture of reactions. As a university community, we need to pat ourselves on the shoulder for a job well done. While at it, the time also presents an opportunity for self-introspection to take a look at how we got here, where we faulted and to right our wrongs.

Management, staff and students of University of Cape Coast (UCC) defied the scorching sun to embark on a three-hour mega street float as part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the University.
