Professor (Mrs.) Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice-Chancellor of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), met with all student leadership at KNUST on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, in the College of Science Auditorium. The purpose of the gathering was to talk about how student leaders can help students avoid becoming infected with Covid-19 over the semester.
Professor (Mrs.) Dickson lauded the student leaders’ efforts to assume leadership roles in the University Community in order to support the Administration in achieving KNUST’s core objectives. She also gave them advise on what it takes to be a leader and the responsibilities that come with it.
Leadership is not about anything other than service, sacrifice, and dedication
Working with individuals necessitates commitment, devotion, and discipline. This implies you’ll need the self-discipline to be able to lead others into a world of discipline, as well as being accommodative to handle all the hardships that will come your way,” she explained.
The interaction continued with an open forum for the student leaders to share their opinions on how the University Management would ensure that the student body adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols.
