Methodist University College of Ghana (MUCG) to win an international award

The Methodist University College of Ghana (MUCG) has been selected to receive the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) award.
The selection was done after the ISSR reviewed a proposal sent by the MUCG Library to the society last year.
The ISSR is a society established to promote education through the support of inter-disciplinary learning and research in the fields of science and religion.
According to the Principal of the College, Rev. Prof S.K. Agyepong, the library would continue to augment its holdings of both books and journals, and improve the efficiency of its services.
As a result, the ISSR would send 224 volumes of assorted books on some selected subject areas to the library.
Prof Agyepong announced this at the school’s ninth congregation.
A total of 1,075 students graduated with various degrees. They included the third batch of postgraduate students comprising 119 MBA and two M.Phil Mathematics graduands.
There were a total of 954 undergraduates. Out of this, 66 had first class honours, 213 had second class (upper division), and 522 had second class lower division. One hundred and forty five had third class honours, and only eight had pass.
Prof Agyepong urged the government to accord the necessary support and encouragement in order to make the Private-Public Partnership (PPP) maximally productive to the benefit of the country.
According to him, they were not seeing the level of support and encouragement that should characterise such an important partnership.
He advised the graduands to go out boldly and make a positive change to serve the country with humility and integrity.
The Dean of the University of Ghana (UG) Business School, Prof. Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, encouraged authorities of MUCG to sustain its desire to produce quality human resource for national development.
“After all, without quality human resource no nation can achieve sustained national development”, he said.
Prof Domfeh entreated tertiary institutions to respond to and address the global socio-economic challenges that were dynamic and had kept changing  rapidly.
He implored the graduands to contribute their quota to the development of the school since the university could not solely depend on the fees from its students.
He also assured the authorities and the entire student body that the cooperative relationship with UG shall continue to work even when MUCG became a fully fledged university.
The Managing Director of Prudential Bank, Mr Stephen Sekyere Abankwah, assured the school of the bank’s financial support for on-going projects like the ultra-modern music centre and the library complex.
He stated that the MUCG would have to position itself strategically to be able to not only meet current demands in the education sector, but also have a competitive advantage over its close competitors.
The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, and Chairman of the MUCG, Prof E.K. Asante, urged students to be positive in their outlook, and endeavour to be agents of change by influencing society through the values in the school’s motto: Excellence Morality Service.
