Breakfast Meeting with Female Chiefs and Principals Staff Category of the University

It was a perfect mix of fun, networking and knowledge sharing at a recent breakfast meeting held at the Hephzibah Christian Centre. The event, organized by the Centre for Gender Studies and Advocacy (CEGENSA), brought together female Chief and Principal staff of the University to engage with the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar in an informal yet impactful setting, sharing insights on career growth and leadership.

The event was not all talk; it featured a walk from the Ayi Mensah tollbooth up the hill, accompanied by brass band music, aerobics, a lively dance competition and food and drinks.

Key takeaways from the panel discussion under the theme ‘‘Professionalism and Efficiency’’ moderated by the President of the UG chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), Mrs. Gladys Alantiya:
