WELCOME TO 2ND SEMESTER, WELCOME TO 2014!

-
The International Programmes Office, on behalf of the University of Ghana, welcomes all international students to the second semester of the 2013/2014 academic year.

To all students continuing their stay with us, we look forward to having you this semester once again. To all who are experiencing Ghana and the University of Ghana for the first time, we say AKWAABA! We are excited to have you with us. We wish you a fruitful and memorable stay.

Last semester was quite an eventful one. The International Students campus and city tour, welcome dinner, welcome durbar and orientation were just a few of the programmes organised by the International Programmes Office (IPO) to make the stay of our students an enjoyable one.

Students also enjoyed other campus and personal events such as a Halloween party, Moonlight Cafe, hall week celebrations, SRC events, seminars and many more. We look forward to another eventful semester!

The International Day celebration to be held on 1st March 2014 is definitely one event all international students should be looking forward to. It will be a day of fun and cultural exchange.



The UG Sports Directorate also promises an eventful semester with their sports line-up. You can follow this link to view the 2013/2014 second semester sports calendar http://ug-sportsdirectorate.blogspot.com/2014/01/20132014-sports-calendar.html

The Walking Tour at Mole Game Reserve

“The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.”  ―  Anthony Bourdain ,  A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines The Early Morning Sky I woke up at 5am for an early morning meditation. I went outside and the sky was still dark, tinted with a hint of lightness. The restaurant/bar facility is set right above a massive watering hole. Off to the side is a little viewing deck with a bench. I went to sit on the bench. The tree that covered the bench was alive with bees. The sound of the bees was louder than I have ever heard before. As I tried to meditate in peace, bees flew against my body. I kind of freaked out and moved to a less glamorous spot by the pool. I enjoyed a very nice hour-long meditation. It was such a beautiful site to open my eyes and see untouched forest reserve as far as the eyes could see. As the sun rose I headed back for my room. Someone told m

On this episode of Lisa Writes Home , you will read about: Cultural adjustments, stigmas, acclimations and revelations All the pretty, pretty nature! Beach rave! (or just a regular old party on the beach) And so the journey has begun. I’ve sent out group emails, recorded more audio than I can ever synthesize into stories (though that won’t stop me from trying— Transom , where you at?), hiked through the North, braved the bustling and aromatic streets of the Madina Market, visited schools, learned the special snappy handshake (video tutorial to come), experienced my first political protest (the Supreme Court verdict on the questionable election results) and finally started classes. The road is long and it has just begun but I’m relishing in the experience, drinking in each moment and insatiably seeking out the next adventure. I can feel the gravity that this place has on me, it’s a deep aching tug on my heart that feels like meeting an old friend for the first time

Interviewer: Eugene Ohene-Tutu Ansu (EOTA) Interviewee: Akinrodoye Dare Samuel (ADS) “I love swimming. When I’m in the water, nothing else matters to me; just the strokes pulling me through the water. It is the calmest and safest place to be” - Akinrodoye Dare Samuel(Dreh) EOTA: Mr Akinrodoye, thank you for making time for this meeting and congrats on your numerous achievements as a sports personality and student leader in the University of Ghana (UG).
