UEW Management Commends Cadet Corps for Outstanding National Performance
The Management of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) has lauded the UEW Cadet Corps for their exceptional performance in a recent national inter-school competition featuring nine institutions. The UEW Cadet Corps achieved an impressive third place overall, a remarkable achievement that has garnered the admiration of the University's leadership.
At a brief presentation ceremony, Prof. Emmanuel Osei Sarpong, Dean of the Faculty of Health, Allied Sciences and Home Economics Education, presented the certificate to the University on behalf of the cadets. “We are here this morning to present the certificate to the Management of UEW,” he said, expressing pride in the group’s achievement.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Stephen Jobson Mitchual, led the University Management in receiving the award and highlighted the commitment and enthusiasm of the cadet corps. He emphasised the importance of recognising the contributions of students who volunteer their time and effort to represent the University without any financial compensation.
“These young individuals carve out time from their busy schedules to train and engage in all their activities,” stated Prof. Mitchual. “No one compensates them; we do not provide scholarships or incentives. In the past, they even approached me to explain that when they travel for these programmes, they have to pay for their own transportation.”
Prof. Mitchual assured the cadets that management had since taken steps to support their efforts and would continue to do so. “These are some of the little things that sell the university,” he added. “We appreciate you. Keep on doing what you are doing. You have our support.”
The cadet corps’ recognition reflects the spirit of volunteerism, discipline and dedication that UEW seeks to foster among its students. University officials noted that such achievements not only enhance the institution’s image but also build character and leadership among the student body.
