The Department of Communication Studies has received a donation of 10 high-quality Epson projectors valued at GHC 65,000 from its Head of Department (HOD), Prof. William Kodom Gyasi.
According to the donor, the gesture was to facilitate teaching and learning.
Prof. Gyasi explained that his decision to donate was driven by a desire to redefine leadership by taking an active role in supporting the Department.
“I thought of redefining what it means to be a leader because I believe as a leader you have to spend on those you lead,” he stated.
Acknowledging the Department’s challenges with teaching equipment, he expressed the hope that his gesture would ease the burden on lecturers.
