Prof. Obiri Yeboah Mante delivering his address<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chancellor addressed the 2023 graduating class who were the first to earn their degrees since PUG transitioned from a University College, to a fully-fledged University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A total of 557 undergraduates comprising 256 males and 301 females; 59 postgraduates comprising 39 males and 20 females were conferred with degrees at the graduation ceremony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday all graduates are taking their certificates from the Presbyterian University, Ghana, effectively marking the end of mentorship by any University,\u201d the Chancellor disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Presbyterian Educational Philosophy<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rt. Rev. Prof. Mante, who is also the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) said the founding mission of the PCG which pioneered formal education, was meant to serve as a platform for developing the whole being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to him the focus of PCG education is targeted at the head, the heart, and the hands explaining that the hands are trained for work and skill development, the head for knowledge acquisition, and the hearts for the gospel and morality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur understanding is that one is not educated if the capacities of your head, hands, and heart are not developed in equal measure. To this end, it was intentional that courses that seek to imbibe morality and human values were intentionally added to the courses you read during your studies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A section of the graduands from the School of Graduate Studies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He urged the graduates to be good ambassadors of the University; help the University to recruit more students and use their personal resources to support the University while keeping high the flag of PUG at full mast wherever they find yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Farewell Message <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By the provisions of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, and the Statutes of the Presbyterian University, Ghana, his work as Moderator of the General Assembly of the PCG, and the Chancellor of the PUG comes to an end on 30th<\/sup> November, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rt. Rev. Prof. Mante said his relationship with the University\u2019s governance started in its nascent years when he served on the first Governing Council as a Member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He was grateful about the support he had enjoyed from the University\u2019s community and called for the same support for his successor, Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, an astute academic who he said understands perfectly how universities operate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presbyuniversity.edu.gh\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/A-section-of-the-graduands-from-the-School-of-Graduate-Studies.jpg?resize=640%2C427&ssl=1\")
