Effective, values-driven student leadership is critical to vibrant university communities and the visionary governance needed across Africa today. Recognising this, the Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (IEPA), a UNESCO Category II Centre of Excellence at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), is convening a transformative Student Leadership Workshop. Organised in collaboration with Ghanaian Student Representative Councils (SRCs) and the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), the summit will transition newly elected student executives into competent, empathetic and strategically aligned leaders capable of driving sustainable institutional impact.
