The second session of our Capacity Building Workshop was another insightful and engaging opportunity to learn, reflect, and have meaningful conversations around issues that are essential to our personal well-being and professional effectiveness—particularly domestic violence and stress management. The event was held at the SRC Conference Hall, Kumasi Technical University.

We were privileged to have Chief Superintendent Victoria Yeboah Darkwah, Ashanti Regional DOVVSU Coordinator, Kumasi, and Dr. Natasha Asamoah, Director of the KsTU University Health Service, as our resource persons.

Chief Superintendent Victoria Yeboah Darkwah took us through an important and thought-provoking session on domestic violence, highlighting its different forms, its impact on individuals and families, and the collective responsibility we have to promote awareness, prevention, and support for victims.

Dr. Natasha Asamoah also led us through an engaging discussion on stress management, helping us understand the different types of stress, how they can affect our well-being and productivity, and practical steps we can take to manage and reduce stress in our daily lives.

What made the session particularly meaningful was the openness, interaction, and thoughtful contributions from participants. It was a timely reminder that capacity building goes beyond professional development; it must also encompass our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

As an institution, we must continue to create opportunities that equip our people not only with knowledge and skills but also with the awareness and resilience needed to thrive both personally and professionally.

I was pleased that the workshop was graced by our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gabriel Dwomoh, and Director of Finance, Mr. Isaac Owusu Ansah, whose presence further underscored the importance of continuous learning and holistic development within our university community.

My sincere appreciation goes to our resource persons and everyone who contributed to making this second session such a valuable and enriching experience.

When we invest in people, we strengthen our institution. When we empower minds, we create a healthier, more resilient, and more productive community.

On 17th September, 2026, I received the newly elected executives of the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) at Kumasi Technical University.

Our engagement provided an important opportunity to connect, listen, and share perspectives on issues that matter to graduate students and the broader university community. It was a meaningful conversation about leadership, responsibility, collaboration, and the role of graduate students in shaping the future of higher education.

I was particularly encouraged by the enthusiasm, ideas, and sense of purpose demonstrated by the new executives. Leadership at the student level is not merely about holding office; it is about listening to the people you represent, building bridges, championing constructive dialogue, and creating opportunities that make a lasting difference.

As I shared with the executives, the future of our institution depends greatly on the quality of leaders we nurture today. Graduate students, in particular, play an important role not only in academic and research advancement but also in innovation, policy conversations, and national development.

I commend the new GRASAG executives for taking on this responsibility and wish them a productive and impactful tenure. I hope their leadership will be characterized by integrity, inclusiveness, purposeful engagement, and a genuine commitment to advancing graduate education.

I look forward to continued engagement and meaningful collaboration with GRASAG as we work together to strengthen graduate education and contribute to the development of our universities and our nation.

On 12th August, 2026, I had the distinct honor and privilege of joining the Management of Kumasi Technical University (KsTU), led by our Chancellor, Dr. Kwame Addo-Kuffour, University Governing Council Chairman, Professor Edward Brenya, and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gabriel Dwomoh, alongside esteemed members of the University Governing Council, on a courtesy call to His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, at the Manhyia Palace during the celebration of the 6th Awukudae Festival.

For us at KsTU, this visit was far more than a ceremonial duty. It was a deeply meaningful opportunity to pay homage to His Majesty, seek his wise counsel and royal blessings, and reaffirm our unwavering respect for the rich culture, traditions, and heritage of Asanteman.

As Pro Vice-Chancellor, I am constantly reminded of the vital role that traditional leadership plays in driving educational advancement and societal development. Our engagement at Manhyia further reinforced the strong, longstanding bond between Kumasi Technical University and the Manhyia Palace. It highlighted our shared commitment to building impactful partnerships that advance TVET, innovation, and tertiary education across the Ashanti Region and Ghana as a whole.

I extend our profound appreciation to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for his warm reception and his continuous goodwill toward KsTU. His vision for education, youth empowerment, and national development remains a guiding light for our institution.

The 6th Awukudae Festival is a significant milestone on the Asante calendar. A powerful celebration of unity, culture, and enduring values.

Participating in this historic occasion renewed our resolve at KsTU to work hand-in-hand with key stakeholders, traditional authorities, and our community as we pursue academic excellence, technological innovation, and sustainable development.

I was honoured to serve as Moderator for the panel discussion on “Building Inclusive & Supportive Structures in Engineering Education and Workspaces to Promote Work-Life Balance” at the CEEA Africa Summit 2026, hosted by Academic City University, Accra, on 22nd May 2026.

I had the privilege of moderating an engaging discussion with an esteemed panel comprising Prof. Vincent Agbodemegbe (Nuclear Power Institute, GAEC); Ms. Amma Aboagye-Danquah (Associate Director, Imperial Global Ghana); Ing. Dr. Peace Amoatey (Head, Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of Ghana); and Prof. Joanna Salifu Yendoik (Centre for Disability Studies, University of Ghana).

The discussion provided a valuable platform to engage with distinguished professionals and thought leaders on the importance of creating inclusive, supportive, and sustainable environments within engineering education and the workplace.

One of the key takeaways from the session was the realization that building inclusive and supportive structures in engineering education and workspaces is not just about improving work-life balance—it is about shaping a culture where innovation and well-being go hand in hand.

As an academic and engineering professional, I remain committed to advocating for systems that promote diversity, mentorship, innovation, and work-life balance, particularly for women and young professionals pursuing careers in STEM fields.

I am grateful to Academic City University and the organisers of the summit for the opportunity to contribute to such an impactful conversation aimed at shaping the future of engineering education in Africa.
