The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo has inaugurated a fifteen (15)-member College Advisory Board of the College of Humanities (CoH).
In her remarks, Prof. Amfo indicated that this is the second set of distinguished personalities appointed to constitute the CoH Advisory Board. She said, “The concept of College Advisory Boards was created with the overarching function to provide advice based on current development perspectives and experiences from global trends. The College Advisory Board is to advise on the relevance of the College to enhance its sustainability.”
Prof. Amfo revealed that the significant function of the Collegiate System was the composition of the Advisory Board with a majority of its membership being non-university members. She said “as members of this College's Advisory Board, you are our strategic partners in our quest to train our students for the world of work and global citizenship. Our collaborative efforts will ensure that we remain relevant in the higher education space.”
