The Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Academic and Students Affairs, Prof. Gordon Akanzuwine Awandare, has commissioned the Junior Common Room (JCR) projects for the Dr. Hilla Limann Hall to generate and increase income for the JCR. The projects include the establishment of the Kwadwo Owusu Ayeh (K. O. Ayeh) 100-Seater Conference Room and refurbished Television Room.
In brief remarks, Prof. Awandare commended the President and executives of the JCR for the initiative in improving the student experience in the Hall. He noted that the projects align with the Vice-Chancellor’s vision for the University in enhancing the learning experiences of students through digitalisation. Prof. Awandare encouraged students to return as alumni for the purpose of developing the University. He stated that the issue of accommodation for students was a priority for Management. Therefore, developing additional residential facilities was key to curbing the challenges of housing students. Prof. Awandare was also hopeful that both rooms would serve their intended purposes in benefitting residents in the Hall.
