Regent University holds 18th graduation ceremony

Regent University College of Science and Technology has held its 18th graduation ceremony with a call on students to be agents of change.

A total of 210 graduates received their degrees, comprising 178 un­dergraduates and 32 postgraduates, who completed various programmes in fields such as law, energy and sus­tainability, theology, business admin­istration, and more.

Professor Emmanuel Kingsley Kwabena Larbi, founder of the col­lege, said the purpose of education is to empower an individual to help improve his or her immediate envi­ronment and beyond.

Professor Larbi noted that such qualities were indispensable to the country’s quest to achieve food security, restore its vanishing natural resources, and chalk socio-econom­ic progress on the whole.

He charged the graduates to be among those who see their certifi­cates as a means to a greater end, saying “be the eye of those who have lost their sense of purpose; be the mouth of those who cannot speak for themselves.”

In a speech read on behalf of the Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Adut­wum, Dr Tina Abrefa Gyan, Deputy Director General, Commission for TVET, emphasised the significance of education in unlocking human potential.

Dr Gyan challenged universities to inspire students to think critically, act with integrity, and embrace their responsibilities as global citizens.

In his address, the President of Regent, Nana Yaw Boadi Appiah, commended the graduating class for their perseverance.

In attendance were members of the University Council, management, faculty, and administrative staff.

Also present were friends and fam­ily of the graduating class, alumni, and students, representatives from affiliate universities and partners, as well as distinguished guests from government, business, and tradition­al leadership. –GNA
