As we usher in the year 2025, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warmest greetings to all members of the University Community, including faculty, staff, students, and alumni.
Another year is here with us and I am grateful to God and all stakeholders for the support and successes of the years past, from academic excellence to international recognition.
A new year is an opportunity to work again to achieve collective and individual goals that contribute to societal impacts. As we begin this year, I urge our Community to leverage the enviable milestones of the University such as:
- No.1 T.U in Student Engagement in Ghana (Times Higher Education)
- No.5 best university in Ghana (Times Higher Education)
- No.1 Green Campus in universities in Ghana; 7th in West Africa (UI Greenmetric rankings)
- Establishment of HTU Fab Lab which is the first among universities in Ghana
- Establishment of the Solar Technology Application Resource Centre (the first of its kind in Ghana)
- Establishment of the UNIDO Circular Economy Centre
- Our students competing favourably with others worldwide such as the Joy Prime Big Chef Tertiary and many more
It is imperative to renew our eagerness and enthusiasm towards the strategic directions of the University; namely, teaching and learning, research and innovation, student engagement, partnership and internationalisation and financial sustainability to ensure we improve on our achievements.
I entreat us to imbibe the vision and mission of the University relentlessly and be guided by the principles of the University as we journey towards another fulfilling and excellent year.
Dear faculty, staff students and alumni, let us bear in mind that wherever we find ourselves at a given time, we are ambassadors of the University and as such, we must represent the University honourably.
This year, among other things, I look forward to inaugurating chapters of the alumni association across the country which will help in strengthening our alumni.
To this end, I charge you all to be diligent in your work and foster a culture of excellence, advancing our course towards global acclamation while investing in strategic initiatives that will continually drive growth, innovation, and excellence in our prestigious University.
I wish you all a prosperous new year!
