The Awards had our outgoing SRC President, Kwabena Osei-Bonsu as Master of Ceremonies, and began with a welcome address by our Deputy-Provost, Dr Cynthia Forson who thanked the community for coming together to celebrate outstanding students. She also spoke on leadership and citizenship as attributes to be emulated and hence awarded at Lancaster University Ghana.
