Remembrance Day Service Held in Honour of Departed UG Staff and Students

As a university tradition, a Christian Remembrance Day Service has been held for departed members of the University community for the 2024/2025 academic year. The solemn event brought together faculty, staff, students and families of the deceased to honour and reflect on the lives and contributions of members who have passed on.

The sermon, delivered by Rev. Enoch Nii Narh Thompson, Executive President of the Ghana Baptist Convention, focused on the importance of living a life of love, kindness and compassion. He underscored the need for the University community to cherish the memories and values of those who have departed, while continuing to uphold the virtues that define meaningful service to humanity.

In her reflections, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, touched on the worth of the service as a moment of remembrance and inspiration. She noted that the dedication and perseverance of departed colleagues should continue to guide and motivate members of the University to strive for excellence in their work and contributions.

The service provided a time of deep reflection and renewal, uniting the University community in shared remembrance and gratitude for the enduring legacies of their colleagues who have transitioned.
