Education
The Ghana Campus of
Webster University graduated its second batch of six post-graduate students at
an impressive commencement ceremony last Saturday at its East Cantonments
campus.
Distinguished guests at
the ceremony included Dr. Paul Taylor, Senior Commercial Officer at the Embassy
of the United States of America, Mrs. Sheila Naa Boamah, Chief Executive of the
Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), who represented the Minister of Education and
members of the diplomatic community.
The graduates completed 14 months of study, graduating with a Master of Arts in International Relations or a Master of Business Administration.
The six graduates are
part of the elite network of over one hundred and seventy five thousand alumni
across the world.
The Ghana Campus
Director, Ms. Christa E. Sanders, emphasized that Webster’s university has
impacted quality American education in the graduates and are equipped to meet
the challenges and demands of the 21st century.
“We are extremely proud
of our graduates; they have worked tirelessly for the last 14 months to fulfill
the requirements of the Master of Arts in International Relations or a Master of
Business Administration programme. As we know, our graduates have accomplished
much to arrive at this moment, today’s Webster’s university graduates are not
only distinguished global citizens but our future leaders”
Mr. Paul Taylor, a
guest speaker at the ceremony, encouraged students to be key participants of
life, to effect change not only in their communities but also around the world.
“You are the
professionals to build bridges between Ghana, the United States and the world;
your knowledge acquired from Webster university is going to prepare you for the
new globalized economy and you are in a better position to build bridges
between communities and the world”
Mrs. Sheila Naa Boamah
lauded the university’s mode of training given to the graduates with small
class size, personalized learning, cultural diversity and mix of relevant soft
skill impacted into the graduates.
In an inspiring
commencement speech, James Ebo Whyte, CEO of Roverman Productions, charged the
graduates not to compromise on wrong deeds which will add up to the nation’s
woes.
“To the graduates today,
resolve to yourself that not under your watch will wrongful activities happen
as you join organizations, the country’s workforce and world as a whole”
In addition to the post-graduate
MBA and the MA International Relations degrees, Webster University offers
bachelor’s degrees in management, media communications and international
relations.
